King Air C90 & C90GTi
Im going to be flying a C90Gti and will be heading to flight safety in about a month. I have my hands on a C90 POH and was wondering if the systems of the C90GTi are going to be completly different or exactly the same? The reason why I ask is because I dont want to learn all the C90 stuff and then go to flight safety and find out that the Gti is a completly different airplane.
Also does anyone know where I could find some training material for the C90GTi?

All King Airs from the 90 to the 1900 are really similar. They have their differences, but if you are studying something in the 90 series, you won't be too far off. Also, FSI will give you everything you need, even if you walked in cold. Congrats on the job... you'll have fun.

There is quite a bit of difference between an old C90 and a new C90.
Triple bus electrical, hydraulic gear, different engines (limitations)
The old one will just confuse you, stay away. Have FSI send you the new books.

A little late to the party, but what the hell. This isn't good advice. It's uninformed advice. The original poster said he had "a C90 POH". Didn't mention if it was a straight C90, C90A, or a C90B. If it was a C90B, the systems would be identical. At least ask the guy which specific model POH he has. Maybe he's got a C90B book from a guy who just got back from FSI!

What he said with the Uniformed advice... Regardless its an easy and very fun airplane to fly, it handles very well in all types of weather as long as you respect the limitations!

Just to clarify:
I would rather study the specific POH for the specific aircraft than study an aircraft that is in the same "family". The different numbers are bound to get confusing. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Thanks again for the info guys. I ended up receiving some study material from our chief pilot for the C90Gti. The POH that I have is for a straight C90 and I decided not to look at it because I didnt want to confuse myself between the two different models.
