So I've been prepping for some airline interviews and my flight school has a sim that can be configured for a B200. I'd like to utilize it to help prepare for sim evaluations. I've been fooling around with it but am struggling a little bit with climb, cruise, and approach profiles. If anyone can provide me with TRQ, RPM, and Airspeeds it would help huge!!

Thanks in advance

Hi, I have a little experience in King Airs so let me give it a stab. On take off we will go to 2100 ft/lbs of tq. slightly less than the max of 2230. this allows for a little bit of creep as you accelerate. The AFM says that you can rotate at 95 kts but since we takeoff with 0 flaps and the flapless stall speed is 99 kts, we rotate @ 100 kts. On liftoff you can pitch up to the command bars on the Flight Director, or if you don't have one then go to about 8 degrees nose up. After the gear is cycled up allow the plane to accelerate to 180 kts and then hold this speed and the vertical speed will begin to climb @1500 to 1800 fpm. At 1000 ft AGL, you can reduce the power to about 2000 ft/lbs torque and reduce the Prop RPM to 1900. This is the climb setting. You can reposition the power levers to 2100 ft/lbs again after the props have been set. Maintain this setting until in cruise. The torque will fall as you climb so you will have to keep adding power, depending how high you are climbing. If you are just doing circuits then it will all happen fast.
Doing approaches, level flight with no flaps or gear 150 kts you would need about 600 to 800 ft/lbs of torque. On descent with gear extended and flaps at approach, (1st notch), 130 kts you will need about 500 to 700 ft/lbs of torque. to maintain 130 kts with flaps extended to full you will need about 1000 ft/lbs of torque to maintain 130 kts. We use a landing ref speed of 100 kts to help with any potential go around. There is plenty of stopping power with the props in beta, and if you have 4 bladed props you will be able to stop on a dime and still have a few cents change. Also be careful if you are landing an airplane with 4 bladed props that you don't pull the power off too early in the flare or you may bounce the airplane severely.
Have fun!!

Try this. The "Flight Patterns" are the profiles used at FlightSafety and should give you a good idea on the numbers. Good luck.

Sweet info guys! Greatly appreciated!
