Props going into ground fine was a problem at my old airline until the Raytheon engineers were finally called in to teach the mechanics how to properly service that little solenoid. After that there were no further problems. Imagine that.

Overall great airplane, I have ~2000 hours in it. Pressurization system is a bit meager though. IIRC, at FL250 you had a 9,600ft cabin. Not sure if a corporate version is any better.

Most common callout used in the 1900.......

Has anyone gone from the King Air directly to the 1900, or for that matter, the 120?

I went from the left-seat of the 1900 to the left-seat of an F-90 (single-pilot operation). Insurance approved me to fly the airplane right off the street, and the only requirment was completing an approved syllabus and simulator training within the next 12 months. If you can fly the 1900, you can fly any model King Air with ease. In fact, the F-90 with an AP, Avidyne EX-500, GNS-400W, Jepp. Chartview and NEXRAD was easier to fly single-pilot than the 1900 was with two of us up-front.

That's exactly what I did. King Air to E120. Not similar other than have wings and props.
