Thanks for the replies. Though i admit i am unfamiliar with "Lair".

Company e mail is setup, i have been sent a PC-12 study guide and an employee manual and thats all i have at this point, should i have received more?

Sounds like i was on the right track in preparing for the check ride, a friend informed me that at their company a .299 is done on a scheduled route, empty, with the Pilot being examined and the pilot conducting the examination normally being the only folks aboard.

So what i intend is to be prepared or FAR 135 regulations, weather minimums, recent experience requirements, rest periods etc as well as aircraft systems and limitations as available in the study guide i was provided.

for the flight portion of the ride, my research into how the check ride is to progress has me receiving different answers from all over the place. I am anticipating that it will probably be a scheduled repo leg perhaps. during which all duties of PIC are performed. throw in an approach or two, maybe a simulated emergency, a couple of maneuvers and done. that seems to be what most guys are saying, but every company does it a little different i guess.

It remains unclear if this is done right after the 5 flights in Denver, and it is on a DEN trip, or if i will be doing the 5 flights in Denver, return to my base and conduct the check ride there when the stars align. no clue. Also no idea what kind of IOE follows the ride.

I sort of fell off the radar once the study guide and CTS links were provided and class date is fast approaching.

My part 121 ride was about 90 minutes oral exam, and a flight in the sim doing FO duties with some emergency stuff, and approaches. then i did 1 ILS with a go around, and one ILS to a full stop in the actual aircraft. resulted in a type rating, and a schedule for a week of IOE trips followed by a reserve schedule.

again, thanks for all the info
