Anyone else starting Sept 11 on the BE99? Anyone know if any of those planes have autopilot? Or what the stacks look like. I'm brushing up hard on my IFR and the study materials but if there's any other suggestions or thoughts from someone's who's recently gone through the process, would appreciate your input.

Probably about 40% of the 99s have a basic pitch/roll autopilot, but expect to still need to pay attention as they're not wholly reliable.

The 99 is a fantastic airplane to fly and you shouldn't have any issues. Most planes are basic 6 pack with a HSI and a GTN650, some have a 430 or a 750. Don't forget you can't cross gen start, and remember 200 kts is your red line.

Probably better off in the 135 forum in the AMF thread though.
