The twin-turboprop Beechcraft Super King Air 200 first flew on October 27, 1972 and received civil certification in
December 1973. In continuous production since 1974, the Super King Air has outlasted virtually all other designs in its
class. The B200 was introduced in 1981, and incorporated a number of changes to improve performance. The standard
configuration of the B200 features an eight passenger cabin and seating for two in the cockpit. When equipped with a
three-axis autopilot, the Super King Air B200 is fully certified to fly without a copilot.
The Blackhawk Modifications XP52 Upgrade package, featuring Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 engines, has been available
since 2008. Without increasing weight, these engines use a larger compressor section to improve the efficiency of the
PT6A design, resulting in a 275 horsepower increase over the -42 engines found on the stock B200. A Super King Air
B200 equipped with the Blackhawk XP52 and Raisbeck EPIC packages will cruise at speeds in excess of 310 knots true
and climb from sea level to FL260 in just over thirteen minutes.
In 2009, Garmin began offering a G1000 avionics retrofit package featuring their signature 15” multi-function display
and 10.4” primary flight displays for both pilot and copilot. The G1000 system includes a digital, dual-channel Automatic
Flight Control System (AFCS), Global Position System (GPS), Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), mapping, obstacle
database, traffic monitoring, and SafeTaxiTM. Should you want to fly that high, a G1000-equipped Super King Air B200 is
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) capable.
The Flight1 Beechcraft Super King Air B200 represents an overhauled 1984 B200 refurbished with the Blackhawk
Modifications XP52 Upgrade, Raisbeck EPIC modifications, and the Garmin G1000 system.
On behalf of Flight1 Software and the Beechcraft Super King Air B200 team members, I invite you to experience the
Flight1 Software Beechcraft Super King Air B200 for Prepar3Dv2 and thank you for your continued patronage.

Important Information
About This Pilot’s Guide
Please read through this Pilot’s Guide to become familiar with the Flight1 Software Beechcraft Super King Air B200. This
King Air includes many avionics and features that you will want to familiarize yourself with. Taking time to do this now
will allow you to get the most enjoyment out of your new software.
This software is designed for entertainment purposes only. Although we have designed the Beechcraft Super King Air
B200 for Prepar3Dv2 to resemble and function as closely as possible the real full-scale aircraft, it is not designed as a
training device. Not all systems have been simulated, and some of those that have been simulated may not be entirely
functional or simulated to 100% accuracy.
Flight1 Software is not responsible for errors due to differences in functionality between any parts of the
Beechcraft Super King Air B200 for Prepar3Dv2 and the real full-scale aircraft. This includes, but is not limited to, the
aircraft model, flight performance and instruments, including the Garmin G1000 flight deck.

Important Information
Pilot's Guide Overview
This Pilot’s Guide is laid out in a way that makes it as easy as possible for you to become familiar with the Beechcraft
Super King Air B200 software package. This Pilot’s Guide covers many aspects of the Beechcraft Super King Air B200,
including, but not limited to, the virtual cockpit, gauges, click-spots, major aircraft systems, aircraft limitations,
checklists, and performance charts.
This Pilot’s Guide details the most important aspects of the Garmin G1000 PFD and MFD. For more in-depth
information, please download and read the Garmin G1000 King Air B200 Pilot’s Guide at:
http://static.garmincdn.com/pumac/190-00928-02_0A_web.pdf
Although we have striven to model as many important features in this version of the G1000 PFD and MFD, not all
features have been simulated, and some of those that have been simulated may not be entirely functional.
Each numbered pointer corresponds to a numbered description of the specific feature and its function. See the example
below:
Most aircraft system features are detailed and explained in the associated panel section. Some aircraft systems that
require more detailed explanations have their own separate sections.
Items that don’t have a click-spot or function reference associated with them are not modeled in this simulation.

Important Information
Navigation Data
The G1000 features Navigraph FMS AIRAC data. If you would like to update the FMS AIRAC data cycle, you will need to
contact Navigraph directly at www.navigraph.com. They provide support and upgrade services for this data.
Currently installed Navigraph AIRAC data cycle information can be found in your Lockheed Martin
Prepar3D/Navigraph/Navdata folder.
WAAS approach data is provided by Flight1 Software and is separate from all other navigation data. To check for
updates to WAAS approach data, please visit www.flight1software.com.
The Flight1 Beechcraft Super King Air B200 includes a custom-coded Android application simulating the GCU 477 MFD
Controller. When connected to the flight simulator, the app provides all the functions of the GCU 477 within the sim,
but without taking up screen real estate or requiring a camera move, without any frame rate cost. (See page 31 of this
manual for an explanation of GCU 477 operation, which will include instructions for use of this app.)
Before you begin, you must obtain an Android application installer from Google Play. We recommend "Appinstaller",
which is free, and more than adequate to the task.
To uninstall the Flight1 Kingair app from your Android device, open the Settings application, select "Apps", select the
"Flight1 Kingair" app, then click the Uninstall button.

Computer Performance
In general, Prepar3D is more demanding on system resources than any version of Flight Simulator to date. This is mostly
due to the added complexity that comes with displaying scenery at a much higher resolution, with more autogen, more
highly detailed 3D models, moving traffic, etc. A complex aircraft like the Beechcraft Super King Air B200 featuring the
G1000 PFD and MFD glass panel places an even greater demand on your system. It is important for you to optimize your
system for the best performance.
If your system is at the high end of the recommended system specifications, you should have no trouble running the
Beechcraft Super King Air B200. If, however, your PC is near the lower end of the system recommendations, you may
need to reduce some of your Flight Simulator settings to increase system performance. Proper video card settings can
significantly improve system performance.
We’ve listed some recommendations to help improve system performance if you experience problems. Since computer
systems are so widely varied, these should be considered general recommendations. They may not help in all cases. You
may need to experiment with different settings until you are satisfied with the results.
Ensure that you have installed the latest updates for both Windows and Prepar3D, and defragment your hard
drive regularly.
Many computer systems have programs running in the background that are not necessary for use during
gaming. Many of these background tasks can be temporarily shut down to free up more processing power for
Prepar3D. Before launching Prepar3D, shut down any non-essential background tasks.
Adjust the settings for your video card directly through your video card and not through Prepar3D. In most
cases, allowing your video card to control Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering is preferable to allowing
Prepar3D to control these settings. Keep in mind that although higher Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering
settings result in superior visuals, these settings can negatively affect Prepar3D performance. You may need to
lower these settings to find a balance between high-quality visuals and acceptable performance. For ATI users,
we recommend using ATI Tray Tools. For nVidia users, we recommend using nVidia nHancer.
Prepar3Dv2 performance is significantly affected by the settings for autogen, AI aircraft, road traffic, scenery
complexity, and water effects. These settings can cause even more of a performance hit if you are using add-on
software that enhances these aspects of Prepar3Dv2. You may need to lower one or more of these settings to
find a balance between high-quality visuals and acceptable performance. Again, it will be up to you to
experiment with settings until you are satisfied with the results.

Downloading With Vista or Windows 7
Quite often, users of Vista or Windows 7 experience difficulty during download and installation. This is
often caused by the security settings within the operating system, since Microsoft essentially "locked
down" the operating system to provide greater security for inexperienced users. As a result, we often
need to work around them.

General Airspeed Terminology
CAS Calibrated Airspeed is the indicated airspeed of an aircraft corrected for position and instrument error.
Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level.
GS Ground Speed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the ground.
IAS Indicated Airspeed is the speed of an aircraft as shown on the airspeed indicator when corrected for
instrument error. IAS values published in this handbook assume zero instrument error.
KCAS Calibrated Airspeed expressed in knots.
KIAS Indicated Airspeed expressed in knots.
M Mach Number is the ratio of true airspeed to the speed of sound.
TAS True Airspeed is the airspeed of an aircraft relative to undisturbed air, which is the CAS corrected for altitude,
temperature, and compressibility.
KTAS True Airspeed expressed in knots.
V1 Take-off Decision Speed.
VR Rotation Speed.
V2 Take-off Safety Speed.
VA Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which full application of available aerodynamic control will not
overstress the airplane.
VF Design Flap Speed is the highest speed permissible at which wing flaps may be actuated.
VFE Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended
position.
VLE Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum speed at which and aircraft can be safely flown with
the landing gear extended.
VLO Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed is the maximum speed at which the landing gear can be safely
extended or retracted.
VS Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.
VSO Stalling Speed in the landing configuration.
VMCA Air Minimum Control Speed is the minimum flight speed at which the aircraft is directionally controllable as
determined in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations. The airplane certification conditions include
one engine becoming inoperative and windmilling, a 5-degree bank towards the operative engine, take-off
power on operative engine, landing gear up, flaps in take-off position, and most rearward C.G. For some
conditions of weight and altitude, stall can still be encountered at speeds above VMCA as established by the
certification procedure described above, in which event stall speed must be regarded as the limit of
directional control.
VMCG Ground Minimum Control Speed.
VSSE Intentional One-Engine-Inoperative Speed is a speed above both VMCA and stall speed, selected to provide a
margin of lateral and directional control when one engine is suddenly rendered inoperative. Intentional
failing of one engine below this speed is not recommended.
VMO Maximum Operating Limit Speed is the speed limit that may not be deliberately exceeded in normal flight
operations, expressed in knots.
MMO Maximum Operating Limit Speed expressed in Mach Number.
VX Best Angle of Climb Speed provides the best altitude gain per unit of horizontal distance, and is usually used
for clearing obstacles during takeoff.
VY Best Rate of Climb Speed provides the best altitude gain in the shortest amount of time.

Meteorological Terminology
OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature obtained either from in-flight temperature
indications or ground meteorological sources, adjusted for instrument error and compressibility effects.
ISA Standard Temperature is 15°C at sea level pressure altitude and decreases by 2°C for each 1000 feet of
altitude.
PA Pressure Altitude is altitude measured from the standard sea level pressure of 29.92 in Hg by a pressure of
barometric altimeter.
Power Terminology
Beta Range The region of the Power Lever control which is aft of the Idle Stop and forward of the
reversing range where blade pitch angle can be changed without a change of gas generator
rpm.
Cruise Climb Is the maximum power approved for normal climb. These powers are torque or temperature (ITT)
limited.
High Idle Obtained by placing the Condition Lever in the High Idle position. This limits the power operation to
a minimum of 70% of N1 rpm.
Low Idle Obtained by placing the Condition Lever in the Low Idle position. This limits the power operation to
a minimum of 60% of N1 rpm.
Maximum Is the highest power rating not limited by time. Us of this rating is intended for emergency situations
Continuous at the discretion of the pilot.
Power
Maximum Is the highest power rating for cruise and is not time limited.
Cruise Power
Reverse Reverse thrust is obtained by lifting the Power Levers and moving them aft of the Beta range.
Take-off Power Is the maximum power rating and is limited to a maximum of 5 minutes operation. Use of this rating
should be limited to normal take-off operations and emergency situations.
Condition The Condition Lever actuates a valve in the fuel control unit which controls the flow of fuel at the fuel
Lever control outlet and regulated the idle range from Low to High Idle.
ITT (Interstage Eight probes wired in parallel indicate the temperature between the compressor and the power
Turbine turbines.
Temperature)
Gas Generator The tachometer registers the rpm of the gas generator with 100% representing a gas generator speed
RPM (N1) of 37,500 rpm.
Power Lever This lever serves to modulate engine power from full reverse thrust to take-off. The position for idle
represents the lowest recommended level of power for flight operation.
Propeller This lever requests the Propeller Governor to maintain rpm at a selected value and, in the maximum

Propeller This governor will maintain the selected speed requested by the propeller control lever, except on
Governor reverse selection where the power lever interconnection to the integral pneumatic area of the governor
will select a lower speed. The pneumatic area during normal selection will act as an overspeed limiter.
Torquemeter The torquemeter system determines shaft output torque. Torque values are obtained by tapping into
two outlets on the reduction gear case and recording the differential pressure from the outlets.
Instrument readout is in foot-pounds.
Empty Weight The weight of an empty airplane before and oil or fuel has been added. This includes all permanently
installed equipment, fixed ballast, full hydraulic fluid, full chmical toilet fluid, and all other operating
fluids full, except that the engines, tanks, and lines do not contain any engine oil or fuel.
Basic Empty The weight of an empty airplane including full engine oil and unusable fuel. This equals the empty

In order to see all available liveries, make sure that "Show All Variations" is selected in the Flight Simulator aircraft
selection screen.
You can use the Flight1 King Air B200 Visual Options program to change the color scheme of your King Air’s
cockpit and cabin, and to remove the fingerprints and smudges from the G1000 screens in the virtual cockpit.
The Flight1 Beechcraft Super King Air B200 installer has placed a shortcut on your desktop.
When P3D is not running, double-click on the desktop King Air Options shortcut and select the desired interior
color. Check the blue box if you do prefer a cleaner look for your G1000 screens, without fingerprints and
smudges.
Close the Flight1 King Air B200 Visual Options program by clicking on the ‘x’ in the upper right corner of the
program window.

Creating a New Default Flight
When you load the Default Flight in Prepar3D, you will be flying out over water. This is not the best situation
for loading your aircraft, so we recommend creating a new default flight to load your Beechcraft Super King
Air B200 from.
To create a new default flight, first load the default Flight Simulator flight, move the aircraft to the active runway
or parking spot of your choice, then save the flight as the new default flight. Load the new default flight, then
SWITCH to the Beechcraft Super King Air B200 (using the Aircraft drop-down selection in the Flight Simulator
Menu Bar) and set up your flight parameters, such as location, time, weather, etc.
To prevent problems with panel initialization and aircraft performance upon loading the Beechcraft Super King
Air B200 into Prepar3Dv2, we strongly advise that you first load the Prepar3Dv2 Default Flight, then switch to the
Beechcraft Super King Air B200. This will ensure that previously saved panel settings from previous aircraft will
not interfere with the operation of the Beechcraft Super King Air B200. Just some of the problems you might
encounter if you don't load the Beechcraft Super King Air B200 as suggested are fuel draw imbalance issues,
unusual autopilot behavior and flight trimming issues.
Safe Startup
It is very important that you start FSX in a clean configuration before loading the King Air. This is actually very
important for any complex aircraft. The Flight1 Beechcraft Super King Air B200 installation includes a very basic
"safe startup" flight that should allow you to load any complex aircraft should you still be experiencing difficulty
after creating your own simple flight.
The program P3DSafeStartup.exe can be found in the Airplanes/F1_Kingair B200 folder, and we strongly urge
you to run it. After you do, the P3D Startup for Complex Aircraft flight will show in your regular Flights menu in
P3D. You can re-save the flight in a new geographic location, with different weather and start up times, but do
not change anything else when saving this flight.
Important! You MUST start P3Dv2 with this flight for it to be effective. If you start P3D with another flight,
load this one, then go to your complex aircraft, you may get undesirable results.
The Flight1 Software Beechcraft Super King Air B200 comes standard with Navigraph FMS data. The AIRAC cycle that ships with
this product is 1306, valid from 05/30/2013 to 06/26/2013. If you would like the Navigraph AIRAC data to be current, you will
need to contact Navigraph directly at www.navigraph.com, as they provide support and upgrade services for this data. Flight1
Software is not responsible for errors in AIRAC cycle data.
Currently installed Navigraph AIRAC data information can be found in your Lockheed Martin Prepar3D/Navigraph/Navdata folder.

Maintenance Module
Overview
The Maintenance Module is included in order to enhance the simulation of the Beechcraft Super King Air B200.
The MM makes provision for line services requests, and monitors aircraft usage at the system level, persistently
tracking wear and tear on the engines, propellers, tires, brakes, and flaps. The engines consume oil while they
are running, and it is possible to mismanage engine operation on the ground in a way that can damage them.
Pilots may affect repairs from within the MM, and are able to enable or disable wear and damage features
independently. For those who do not desire this feature, all failure and damage realism settings can be
disabled.
The Maintenance Module can be accessed any time the Flight1 Beechcraft Super King Air B200 is loaded into
Flight Simulator, regardless of the current view. Open the Maintenance Module by choosing the Add-ons >
Flight1 B200 > Settings option from the Flight Simulator Menu Bar.
Close the Maintenance Module by clicking the “OK” button or by clicking the blue “X” in the upper right corner
of the Maintenance Module window.
Allow Failures - Click on the box to check/uncheck. When the box is checked, the failures listed in the Realism
page may be selected individually. When the box is unchecked, all failures listed in the Realism page are
disabled.
Allow Wear - Click on the box to check/uncheck. When the box is checked, the MM tracks aircraft system wear
as listed in the Maintenance & Repairs page. When the box is unchecked, aircraft system wear is disabled.
NOTE
If you choose to allow Failures and Wear, study the rest of the Maintenance Module section carefully.

18
Maintenance Module
Realism
Engine Wear - Engine performance will decrease as the engine builds up hours. The Time Between Overhauls
for a PT6A-52 engine is 3,500 hours, so you will not see a degradation in performance for quite some time.
Should you operate the engines with ITT above 790oC at frequent intervals and/or for long periods of time, the
cost of engine repairs/overhauls will be significantly higher than when the engine is operated at cooler
temperatures.
Flap Damage - If the pilot extends the flaps to APPROACH above 200 KIAS, or to FULL above 157 KIAS, flap
damage or failure may occur. Although there is a safety buffer (just as there is in the real aircraft), it's strongly
advised to keep within the prescribed speeds.
Landing Gear Damage - Extended the landing gear at speeds greater than 181 KIAS, or retracting it at speeds
greater than 163 KIAS will result in gear damage or outright failure. As with the flaps, there is a safety margin,
but a good pilot observes the aircraft limitations.
Hot Start - This is a situation in which, during engine start, the pilot adds fuel before there is enough airflow
through the turbine to keep the combustion chamber from getting too hot. Excess ITT can cause serious
damage to an engine, so it is essential that the pilot avoid adding fuel before N1 is at least 12%, and preferably
higher.
FOD - There are any number of things on the ground that can be easily ingested by an engine and cause
significant damage. A wise pilot always extends his airplane's ice vanes during ground operations.
Brake Fade - King Airs are notoriously hard on brake pads, so it's always best to use them as sparingly as
possible. Manage your taxi speed by using your engines' Beta range, lest you find yourself without brakes on a
landing rollout.

G1000 PFD overview
The Garmin G1000 configuration in the Beechcraft Super King Air B200 features two Primary Flight Displays
(PFD) which replace the traditional “six pack” flight instrument clusters for the pilot and copilot . Each PFD is
a 10.4 inch LCD providing all necessary flight instrument displays and basic avionics indications. The PFDs also
offer controls for the creation and modification of flight plans and for NAV and COM frequency selection.
Although we have striven to model as many important features as possible in this version of the G1000 PFD, not
all real world features have been simulated, and some that have been simulated may not be entirely functional.
The PFD display screen presents graphical flight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude and
vertical speed) which replaces the traditional flight instrument cluster. Both COM and NAV radios, navigation
information, wind speed and direction, moving map and flight plan information are also displayed. The airspeed
indicator, altitude indicator and turn coordinator display trends, and the airspeed indicator displays airspeed
references. Autopilot modes are also displayed. All of this information is presented to the pilot in an easy-to-view
format that streamlines and lessens the pilot's workload.

Flight Director and Autopilot
Flight Director and Autopilot Overview, Continued...
The flight director provides pitch and roll commands to the autopilot and displays them on the PFD. With the
flight director turned ON and lateral and/or vertical functions Active, the aircraft can be hand-flown to follow
the command bars. When the autopilot is engaged, the autopilot will follow the command bars.
The flight director can be turned ON separately from the autopilot, however, when the autopilot is engaged,
the flight director will always be ON. The FD key is disabled when the autopilot is engaged.
Do not Engage the autopilot while on the ground. In addition to being incorrect operation, Flight Simulator
features a bug that moves the elevator pitch trim to one extreme resulting in elevator trim problems.
❸ ❷ ❶ ❺ ❹
1) AP - Press the AP key to Engage or Disengage the autopilot. When the autopilot is engaged, the flight director
command bars are displayed, ROL and PIT modes are Active and ALTS mode is Armed. ROL mode commands the
aircraft to hold wings level and PIT mode commands the aircraft to hold the current pitch angle. When the
autopilot is disengaged, ROL and PIT modes remain Active, ALTS mode remains Armed and the flight director
remains ON.
2) FD - Press the FD key to turn the Flight Director ON or OFF. When the flight director is turned ON, ROL and PIT
modes are Active, ALTS mode is Armed and the flight director command bars are displayed. Turn the flight
director OFF to clear all AFCS modes.
The autopilot must be disengaged to turn the flight director OFF and clear all AFCS modes.
3) HDG - Press the HDG key to Engage or Disengage Heading Select mode and to switch between HDG and ROL
mode. HDG mode is a lateral mode that commands the aircraft to fly the current heading displayed by the Heading
Bug on the HSI. The heading bug can be moved by turning the HDG control knob on the PFD or MFD. When the
HDG key is pressed a second time, ROL mode is selected.
4) ALT - Press the ALT key to Engage or Disengage Altitude Hold mode and to switch between ALT mode, PIT
mode and ALTS mode. ALT mode is a vertical mode that commands the aircraft to hold the current altitude at
the time the selection is made. ALT mode is automatically armed when the flight director is in ALTS mode. ALTS
mode automatically transitions to ALT mode when the altitude error is less than ~50 feet.
In the default configuration, ALTS mode is Armed (this is not a mode that can be manually engaged or
disengaged). ALTS mode commands the autopilot to capture the altitude displayed in the Selected Altitude box
above the altitude tape on the PFD. When the aircraft is within ~200 feet of the Selected Altitude, ALTS mode
will become Active and capture the selected altitude, at which time ALT mode will become Active.
5) YD - Press the YD key to Engage or Disengage the yaw damper. If the AP is on, pressing YD will switch off both
the autopilot and the yaw damper.

7) BC - Press the BC key to Engage or Disengage Backcourse mode. When selected, backcourse mode captures and
tracks the localizer in the backcourse direction.
8) NAV - Press the NAV key to Engage or Disengage Navigation mode. NAV mode is a lateral mode that commands
the aircraft to fly the current navigation course, either GPS or VOR. If the CDI is in VOR mode and NAV is pressed,
the autopilot will arm VOR mode. When the aircraft is within intercept capture range, the aircraft will turn
torward and follow the VOR radial. If the CDI is in GPS mode and NAV is pressed, the autopilot will arm GPS mode.
WHen the aircraft is within intercept capture range, the aircraft will turn toward and follow the GPS flight path.
Press the CDI softkey on the PFD to change NAV sources.
9) ALT SEL - The ALT control knob is used to input the selected altitude that the autopilot will command the aircraft
to level off at. This knob includes four different click-spots. The two upper click-spots increase and decrease the
altitude in 1000 foot increments and the two lower click-spots increase and decrease the altitude in 100 foot
increments. Turn the knob to the right to increase the altitude select value and turn the knob to the left to
decrease the altitude select value. The selected altitude is displayed Selected Altitude box above the altitude tape.
10) VS - Press the VS key to Engage or Disengage Vertical Speed mode. VS mode is a pitch mode that commands the
aircraft to climb or descend at a specific rate as selected using the NOSE UP and NOSE DOWN keys. While in VS
mode, the aircraft will attempt to hold the currently selected VS setting regardless of power setting.
While in VS mode, it's important to watch your airspeed closely to prevent stalling, particularly at higher altitudes.
11) VS WHEEL – Rotate forward or backward to adjust the vertical speed in PIT mode, VS mode, and FLC mode. VS
mode is a pitch mode that commands the aircraft to either climb or descend at the selected rate in Feet Per
Minute (FPM). Click at the bottom of the VS wheel to raise the nose in PIT mode, change vertical speed in +100
foot increments in VS mode, or decrease commanded climb speed in FLC mode. Click at the top of the VS wheel
to lower the nose in PIT mode, change vertical speed in -100 foot increments in VS mode, or to increase climb
speed in FLC mode. At either click spot, the mouse wheel can be used to scroll forward for nose down, or
backward for nose up.
12) FLC - Press the FLC key to Engage or Disengage Flight Level Change mode. FLC mode is a vertical mode that
maintains the current airspeed while the aircraft is either climbing or descending to the selected altitude. The
autopilot will command aircraft pitch changes in an attempt to hold the current airspeed. The current selected
airspeed is indicated in a window above the airspeed tape and can be adjusted using the VS wheel.
The airplane should be in a climb or a descent prior to engaging Flight Level Change mode. For the best results,
FLC mode should be used during climb and VS mode should be used during descent.

sychrophasing system which is certified for use during takeoff and landing.
Approach Speed is not your actual speed while on approach, nor is it your touchdown speed. In a genuinely
stabilized approach, you'd fly VREF speed all the way from the Final Approach Fix to 50 feet above
touchdown. This technique works great in jets, but it just isn't necessary in turboprops, nor is it desirable.
What you want in a turboprop is to maintain your single-engine best rate-of-climb speed for as long as
possible, in case you have a balked landing (which is what a missed approach is called in a King Air) and a
failed engine.
So, in visual conditions, your best approach is flown gradually decelerating to about 121 KIAS, flaps to
APPROACH, until you're at about 500 feet above touchdown. At that point, select FULL FLAPS, and you'll
slow to about 105 KIAS pretty quickly. After that, you can slowly pull the power off to reach VREF at 50 feet
above the runway threshold. Aim for touchdown about 1,000 feet down the runway, slowing your rate of
descent to just one or two hundred feet per minute. Your airspeed will bleed off naturally, and the King Air
will deliver you a nice, smooth landing.
The pilot's yoke-mounted digital clock normally displays the current time in a 24-hour format, and provides for display of

The Master Warning System consists of two flashers located directly in front of each pilot (one, in red, labeled MASTER
WARNING and the other, in yellow, labeled MASTER CAUTION), a warning annunciator panel with red indicators located
on the center of the glare shield, and a caution-advisory annunciator panel with yellow and green indicators located
between the pilot's and copilot's subpanels. A press-to-test switch next to the Warning Annunciator Panel is used to
illuminate all of the annunciator lights and flashers.

Standby Instruments
Standby Instruments Overview
Four standby instruments are provided. These include an attitude indicator, an altimeter, an airspeed indicator, and a
compass. They are arranged vertically, to the right of the pilot’s Primary Flight Display. Except for their internal lighting,
the standby flight instruments function independently from the aircraft electrical system. Illumination controls for the
standby instruments are located to the left of the Warning Annunciator Panel on the glare shield.
The standby attitude indicator provides pitch and roll information. Power for
the standby attitude indicator is provided by gyro suction from the engine bleed
air system on either engine. At least one engine must be running and its
associated bleed air switch set to ENVIR OFF or OPEN for the standby attitude
indicator to function. A Pull to Cage knob is provided to prevent damage to the
internal gyro when the unit is not powered up. Electrical power is used for
internal illumination.
The standby attitude indicator is also equipped with Course Deviation Indicator
(CDI) and Glide Slope (GS) needles. When electrical power is functioning, the
avionics switch is ON, and the NAV1 radio is tuned to a station that is close
enough to receive, the standby attitude indicator CDI and GS needles will
display course and glide slope deviation, respectively. A red flag is displayed for
each needle when no navigation signal is present.

Engine Management
Starting
Despite what you may have heard about starting PT6-powered King Airs, there are a number of different starting
techniques that are correct. It is not within the scope of this manual to explain them all, so I'll mostly cover the
procedure recommended by Beechcraft, and which is outlined for you in the ENGINE STARTING checklist on page 87,
and I'll offer you a couple of options. For detailed discussions of other techniques, I'll refer you to Tom Clements'
excellent The King Air Book.
To begin, set the power levers so that the rear edge of the lever arms is at approximately the midpoint of the FLIGHT
IDLE "box" etched onto the center pedestal, set the parking brake, and turn the battery switch ON. On the overhead
panel, push the buttons on the volt/loadmeters and ensure that the battery voltage is at least 24 volts.
Now, the checklist calls for you to start the right engine first, and if you did that every time, you would not be wrong.
But in doing this, eventually, you'll notice a difference in the run times between the engines, with the right engine seeing
more use than the left. To balance the wear and tear on our engines, it's perfectly acceptable to alternate which engine
you start first.
Another thing to consider is whether you start the engines with the prop levers full forward (as called for in the
checklist) or with them pulled back in the feathered position. Again, either method is acceptable and correct, so the
choice is yours. Consider starting the engines with the props feathered if you're on an icy, slippery ramp and the brakes
aren't going to be of much use in holding you in place with all the torque that comes with a props-full-forward start. Or,
if you've got ramp workers close by, a less-noisy feathered start could be considered a kindness. Otherwise, use the
props-full-forward method outlined in the checklist.
Okay, you've flipped the start switch on the first engine. Verify that the green [IGNITION] advisory annunciator is
illuminated, and watch for the red [FUEL PRESS] warning annunciator to extinguish. Next, watch the %N1 gauge climb (it
should now be past 10%) and wait for it to reach its maximum, which should be between 16% and 20%. We want the
engine turning as fast as possible before we introduce fuel, because the engine uses about 75% of its airflow for cooling.
Introduce fuel too early, and you'll get a hot start, and end up needing a costly engine overhaul. Note that the 12% N1
speed called for in the checklist is the MINIMUM safe starting rpm. The engines on the Flight1 Beechcraft Super King Air
B200 won’t “light” until N1 is at least 13-14%, anyhow, and the earlier you add fuel, the higher your ITT will be during
the start. Adding fuel too early won’t make the engine start sooner, but the extra fuel you’ve pumped in before it lights
will make it start hotter.
By now, you've got N1 stabilized between 16% and 20%, the [IGNITION] annunciator is on and the [FUEL PRESS]
annunciator is extinguished, so you can add fuel. Move the condition lever to LOW IDLE, and the N1 should start to rise
fairly rapidly. As it does, note the ITT. If the needle goes above 900oC, pull the condition lever to cut off IMMEDIATELY.
Performed correctly, your starts should see ITTs well below 800oC. Also note that if the N1 doesn't begin to rise within
ten seconds of when you set the condition lever to LOW IDLE, you should abort the start by pulling the condition lever
back to cut off.
If the oil pressure is climbing or in the normal range, and N1 is above 50%, move the condition lever to HIGH IDLE and
move the start switch to OFF.
74
Engine Management
Starting, cont...
Once the engine is stable, you can switch on the generator. This is a two-step process: move the generator switch to
RESET, then release it, and it will snap to the ON position. Observe the amber [BATT CHARGE] caution annunciator
illuminates for several seconds. If you like, you can watch the battery ammeter as the charge cycle progresses. Once
the charge is complete, switch the generator OFF.
Starting the second engine is slightly more complex, because Beechcraft has us switch on the first engine's generator
after the initial battery-powered spool-up, to assist in starting the second engine. As with the first engine, move the
start switch to the ON position and observe the [IGNITION] annunciator come on and the [FUEL PRESS] annunciator
extinguish. Move the second engine's condition lever to LOW IDLE and then switch on the first engine's generator again
(remember: RESET, then ON). Monitor the ITT on the second engine and be sure to move the condition lever to fuel cut
off if there's a hint of a hot start. You'll also see the [BATT CHARGE] annunciator illuminate after you switch on the
generator again; this is because you've used the battery again for an engine start. Once the second engine is stable and
has good oil pressure, you can switch on its generator, as well.
With both generators online, move the first engine's condition lever to LOW IDLE and check BOTH volt/loadmeter push-
buttons again. You should see 28V DC on both meters.
Ready to go, right? Wrong! Before you leave the ramp, extend the ice vanes. It's not called for in the checklist, but it's
good advice. Extending your ice vanes can keep your engines from ingesting foreign objects and debris (FOD) while
you're conducting ground operations. Again, it's not a requirement, but you'll certainly regret not making a habit of
extending the ice vanes if one of your engines ever finds a screw or a rock and tries to pull it through the compressor
section.
If you've spent much time flying a stock King Air B200 with PT6A-41 or -42 engines, you've grown accustomed to
operating at or near the ITT limits for those engines. The Blackhawk XP52 modification installed on our King Air
effectively does away with that by raising the ITT limit by 80oC. Even with the ice vanes extended, you’ll have enough
power to get the airplane off of even short runways.
The preferred takeoff method in a King Air is the Standing Start. Line up on the runway and come to a stop. Hold the
brakes while you advance the power levers just far enough for the [AUTOFEATHER] annunciators to illuminate. This
happens when the power levers are positioned to command 90% N1, which is, coincidentally, the correct power setting
for takeoff. Wait until the props stabilize at 2000 rpm and release the brakes. ITT will increase a bit during the takeoff
roll, but you’re unlikely to ever exceed that 830oC ITT limitation. What you should be more worried about is exceeding
the torque limitations. That will happen at 92% N1, so don’t advance the power levers much beyond where the
[AUTOFEATHER] annunciators illuminate.
You can also perform a rolling takeoff in the King Air B200. As you line up on the runway centerline, smoothly advance
the power levers until the [AUTOFEATHER] annunciators illuminate. When the props come up to speed, they’ll fluctuate
75

Setting Takeoff Power, cont...
a little before settling onto the governors at 2000 rpm, and the airplane will wobble laterally until they do. Yes, it’s
uncomfortable for the passengers, and that’s why we prefer a standing start. Don’t fight the wobble, just keep the plane
on the runway centerline until it subsides after a second or two.
This is where the Blackhawk Modifications XP52 package really comes into its own. Once the gear and flaps are up, set
the props to 1800 rpm and trim the airplane for 160 KIAS (on the AFCS, set the vertical speed to 2000 fpm). Climb rpm
for the stock B200 is 1900, but we get more power with the -52 engines, so we can get away with 1800.
Push the power levers forward until the torques read between 2100 ft-lbs and redline at 2230 ft-lbs. As the airplane
climbs, power will drop off, so you’ll need to push the power levers forward every now and then to keep the torques in
the target range. Keep an eye on the ITT. It’s not likely that you’ll get anywhere near the limit, but if you do, reduce
power.
Under most conditions, you should be able to keep the engines at or near their torque limits all the way up to about
24,000 feet, when you’ll run out of power lever travel.
Another difference between our King Air and the stock B200 is the climb profile. In a -41 or -42 powered airplane, you’d
allow your airspeed to decrease as you climb: 160 KIAS to 10,000 feet, 140 KIAS to 20,000 feet, 130 KIAS to 25,000 feet,
and 120 KIAS above 25,000. With the power in the -52 engines, our B200 will climb very fast at these speeds, but the
nose will be too high to safely observe other aircraft, and the deck angle will be uncomfortable for our passengers. You
can use those airspeeds, but it’s better to lower the nose a bit and climb at around 2000 fpm.
In the fifty years since the first King Air flew, there have been quite a few techniques suggested for setting cruise power.
Some, like the old, "set the hotter engine to the ITT limit and then match the torques" and "match the ITTs at 20oC
below the limit" arguments are pretty much useless, considering the higher ITT limits of our King Air’s PT6A-52 engines.
What we're left with the method that's been correct all along: Matching the torques at the value shown on the Normal
Cruise Power tables in the POH. (You'll find them starting on page 95.) Above 24,000 feet or so, it’s likely that you’ll
have reached the limits of the power lever travel, so simply set one power lever against the forward stop and adjust the
other to match the torques; that should get you very close to the settings called for in the performance tables.
Increased ITT limits notwithstanding, you'd still be wise to pull the power back to keep the ITT at or below 790oC, since
running the engines harder than that will tend to wear them out more quickly, and that can get expensive. If you start
getting close to Vmo/Mmo as indicated on the G1000 PFD, pull the power back a little bit. It is quite possible to
overspeed this airplane in level flight.
76
Engine Management
Managing Power in the Descent and Landing
The B200 is surprisingly easy to manage in the descent and on approach. At the top of descent, pull the power levers
back to set 80% N1, and dial in a 1500 fpm rate of descent using VS mode on the AFCS. Leave the prop levers where
they are. The result is a good rate of descent at a manageable airspeed. As you descend, you’ll need to adjust the
power levers to maintain 80% N1, and you can even pull them back a little further if you need to, but don’t go below
74% N1. Below that engine speed, there’s not enough bleed air to maintain pressurization.
As you level off before crossing the Final Approach Fix, with power set at 80% N1, your airspeed will decrease fairly
rapidly to around 160 KIAS. Set the flaps to approach and drop the landing gear just before you start your final descent.
I make it a habit to extend the ice vanes at this point, since we’ll need them extended on the ground and it’s one less
thing to worry about during the landing rollout. You can leave the power right where it is until you have the landing
made. Note the torque your engines are producing. If you lose an engine now, you can still fly the approach by setting
double the torque on the good engine.
With the gear down, you have three yellow caution annunciators: the glareshield Master Caution flasher, [PROP SYNC
ON], and [RVS NOT READY]. Clear the flasher, but ignore the other two until you have the landing made, then switch
Prop Sync off, select full flaps, and set power to between 600-650 ft-lbs torque. That’ll give you around 105 KIAS, and as
you flare, your speed should decrease to VREF. King Airs will float if you let them, so fly it right down onto the runway at -
100 to -200 feet per minute.
At touchdown, push the prop levers to full forward then pull the power levers all the way aft into reverse. Don't worry
that the props don't go right up to 2,000 rpm. What we actually want at this point is for the props to be slightly slower
than 2,000 rpm, so that we're assured that the blades are on the low pitch stops when we move the power levers into
the reverse range. Doing that helps get the engines into reverse quicker and helps stop the airplane more efficiently.
This is why it's important to be at VREF as you start your flare. The only way to be assured that the blades will be against
the low pitch stops is if the engine power and the airspeed combined are low enough to permit the props to drop below
the governor setting. Carrying too much speed into your landing can cause the props to windmill, and actually prevent
you from getting into reverse!
At 80 knots, you can get on the brakes as you need to. (But only as much as you need, since King Airs can be hard on the
brake pads.) Slowing through 60 KIAS, bring the engines out of reverse into beta. Continue braking, and exit the runway
at 10-15 knots.
You can almost always maintain taxi speed with the engines in beta, but don't forget to take them out of beta and put
them on the flight idle gate before shut down.

Cabin Pressurization
Cabin Pressurization Overview
The Cabin Pressurization Controls provide for the adjustment of cabin altitude and the rate of change when climbing or
descending. Also included here is the ability to depressurize the cabin and enable or disable the rudder boost system
and elevator trim.
❶ ❷ ❸
❹ ❺
4) RATE knob - Controls the rate at which cabin pressure changes from its current altitude to the selected altitude. The
rate of change may be adjusted from approximately 200 to 2000 feet per minute. When set to the index mark, the rate
of change is 600 feet per minute.
5) CABIN ALT knob - Controls the cabin altitude by setting the maximum altitude at which the aircraft may fly without
exceeding the maximum pressure differential. Prior to climb, turn the CABIN ALT knob to set the inner scale to the
expected cruise altitude. If a change in cruise altitude is required, set the aircraft altitude on the inner scale accordingly.
After beginning descent for landing, set the destination field altitude on the outer scale.
OPERATIONAL NOTE
The Flight1 Super King Air B200 is capable of maintaining a pressurized cabin altitude of 10,400 feet at the aircraft's
maximum altitude of 35,000 feet.
78
Cabin Pressurization
Monitoring Cabin Pressurization
The current status of cabin pressure altitude may be monitored on the Cabin Altimeter and Cabin Climb Indicator,
located just forward of the throttle quadrant. Actual cabin pressure altitude is read in thousands of feet on the outer
scale of the Cabin Altimeter, while the Cabin differential pressure is read in psi on the inner scale. The rate of cabin
altitude change is read in thousands of feet per minute on the Cabin Climb Indicator.
The Flight1 Super King Air B200 is equipped with an emergency oxygen supply system that will deploy automatically if
cabin altitude exceeds 12,500 feet. Oxygen will flow to the masks automatically until the cabin altitude decreases to
below 12,500 feet. The system is operated by means of two push-pull switches located on the aft overhead in the
cockpit.
79
Supplemental Oxygen Supply System
❷ ❶
1) PULL ON-SYS READY Operates a cable which opens and closes the oxygen bottle shut off valve. When pushed
in, no oxygen supply is available. Pull the handle out prior to flight. When the PULL ON-SYS READY handle is
pulled, should cabin altitude exceed 12,500 feet, as indicated by illumination of the red [ALT WARN]
annunciator, the passenger oxygen masks will deploy and oxygen will begin to flow.
2) PASSENGER MANUAL O’RIDE When pulled, deploys the passenger oxygen masks and starts the flow of oxygen
regardless of cabin altitude.
Save yourself some trouble and, when icing conditions are reported or likely, switch everything on except
the two engine anti-ice switches, the prop deice switch, and the surface deice switch. Everything else will
place a minimal load on the generators, and won't greatly affect the plane's performance. When you do
encounter icing conditions, such as visible moisture at below +5oC, flip those four switches on and accept the
performance loss until you're clear of the visible moisture.

FOOTNOTES:
(1) Torque limit applies within range of 1600-2000 propeller rpm. Below 1600 rpm, torque is limited to 1100 ft-lbs
(2) When gas generator speeds are above 27,000 rpm (72% N1) and oil temperatures are between 60oC and 71oC,
normal oil pressures are: 105 to 135 psi below 21,000 feet; 85 to 135 psi at 21,000 feet and above.
During extremely cold starts, oil pressure may reach 200 psi. Oil pressure between 60 and 85 psi is undesirable; it
should be tolerated only for the completion of the flight and then only at a reduce power setting not exceeding 1100 ft-
lbs. torque. Oil pressure below 60 psi is unsafe; it requires that either the engine be shut down, or that a landing be
made as soon as possible, using the minimum power to sustain flight. Fluctuations of plus or minus 10 psig are
acceptable.
(4) High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/or increasing N1 rpm.

If crosswind landing is anticipated, immediately prior to touchdown, lower up-wind wing
and align the fuselage with the runway. During rollout, hold aileron control into the
wind and maintain directional control with rudder and brakes. Use propeller reverse as
desired.

MAXIMUM REVERSE THRUST LANDING
1. Condition Levers – HIGH IDLE
2. Propeller Levers – FULL FORWARD
3. Power Levers – LIFT AND REVERSE AFTER TOUCHDOWN
4. Condition Levers – LOW IDLE
CAUTION
If possible, propellers should be moved out of reverse at approximately 40 knots, to
minimize propeller blade erosion. Care must be exercise when reversing on runways
with loose sand or dust on the surface Flying gravel will damage propeller blades, and
dust may impair the pilot’s forward field of vision at low airplane speeds.

Cold Weather Operations
INTRODUCTION
This section deals with operations in snow, ice, rain, and cold temperatures. Use this section in conjunction with
the NORMAL OPERATIONS section. After general discussion of icing conditions and anti-ice system usage, adverse
weather operations are dealt with by phase of flight.
ICING CONDITIONS
Icing conditions exist when the OAT on the ground and inflight is +5oC or below and visible moisture in any form is
present. Visible moisture may be fog with visibility of 1 mile or less, rain, snow, sleet, or ice crystals. Icing
conditions also exist when the OAT on the ground or inflight is +5oC or below when operating on ramps, taxiways,
or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on engines
or nacelles.
Every pilot should be intimately familiar with the definitions for ice intensity and accumulation as listed below:
FLUTTER
When ice is permitted to accumulate, disturbed airflow over the surface of the aircraft may cause aerodynamic
surfaces to vibrate. Should these vibrations increase, they can cause control surfaces to flutter, leading to
structural failure and an in-flight breakup of the airplane. If flutter occurs, immediately activate the surface deice
boots.
93
Cold Weather Operations
ANTI-ICE SYSTEMS USAGE
Activate deice and anti-icing systems before entering an area of moisture where you are likely to go through a
freezing level. All the following systems should be on when in icing conditions: Engine ice vanes, propeller deice,
surface deice, windshield anti-ice, L and R fuel vent heat, alternate static heat, and use the wing ice lights when
needed.
WARNING
If in doubt, actuate the Engine Anti-Ice System. Engine icing can occur though no
surface icing is present. If freedom from visible moisture cannot be assured, engine ice
protection should be actuated. Visible moisture is moisture in any form: clouds, ice
crystals, snow, rain, sleet, hail, or any combination of these.
TAXIING
Avoid taxiing in deep snow and slush. Keep flaps retracted during taxi to avoid possible damage or ice
accumulation. Spotty ice cover is difficult to see, therefore taxi slowly and allow extra clearance when taxiing the
aircraft in close proximity to other aircraft or buildings. When taxiing in snow, slush, loose ice, or water, use the
ice vanes to keep these substances out of the engine inlets. When parking the airplane, it will be of some help to
avoid setting the parking brake immediately.
NOTE
Differential braking and thrust, rather than nosewheel steering, are the most effective
means of steering on ice or snow. Taxi very slowly under these conditions.
CAUTION
Taxi slowly, maintain greater-than-normal distance from the airplane ahead, and
maintain minimum thrust to avoid blowing slush or snow against the tail surfaces or
other airplanes. Avoid taxiing in deep snow or slush as steering is difficult, and brakes,
gear, and flaps may freeze after takeoff.
