The way I understand that paragraph Is that If your aircraft has at least one model thats above 12.5, then you can log it. Since a King Air 350 is above 12.5, then I can log the King Air 90 or 200. Am I correct?
What I am saying is that the King air 300/350 is a different type rating then a King air 200. Would you log Gulfstream 2 time as Gulfstream 5 time or Challenger 600 time as Challenger 605 time they are not the same aircraft nor the same type ratings. Even my army buddy that flew the 14000 lb King Air 200 went and took his civilian type ride in the 200 and the type rating does note say King Air 300/350. I am not the expert on what FedEx wants but I am 100 percent positive that King Air 300/350 and a king Air 90 are not the same in the eyes of the FAA. I personally left my King Air 200 and Turbo Commander 690 time off the app, I would rather not log something in the gray area just to beef up my app a little bit.
