King Air Daily rate?
 

whats the going daily rate on a king air 200 fo? 135 department that needs one per their ops specs?

Where are you located? Thats a big factor but ball park $200/day plus expenses.

Man, in '98 I was getting $300/day in DFW

For a king air Fo? Wow that would be great but I think that would be alittle on the high side unless you lived in NY. I think the captain pay is $500/day now depending on location.

Well, since the BE-200 is a single pilot airplane and no type is required, we did not call one guy Capt or f/o. He was referred to as a pilot. If they wanted a second pilot I believe the daily rate was the same. If I remember correctly, we were even on the low side compared to the rest of the country

I currently do King Air contract work on a 200 out of Newburgh, NY (KSWF). Day rate for me is $500.00 as the PIC, even if I am flying in the right seat for the owner/pilot. When the owner wants to sit in the back with his family, we bring an SIC, and the rate is $300.00 for the co-pilot. I do the same on an E90 out of Trenton, NJ (KTTN), and I still get $500.00. Typed in a 350, and those rates are $600.00/$400.00. Hope that helps.

thanks guys it does. Im in the SE. I was kinda thinking around 300 to sit right seat.

For what its worth, at our company the day rate is $125 expenses paid for. 135 Mid-West company with 90's and 200's.

Question for you guys: I'm thinking of pursuing a BE350 type. Would an insurance company take that as formal training for a -200 or a -90? Or would they look for specific make/model?

Thanks,

Do you plan on doing just 91 or 135 stuff as well. The reason why I ask is because if you plan on 135 you'll need a check ride and I believe the FAA wants it in the specific model but I could be wrong about the king airs. They used to allow the 1900 and 350 to be the same type, but call the local FSDO and see what they say.
