In the 99, it will be a Garmin 650 or a Garmin 750.

That training failure rate is not accurate. Each aircraft is going to have a different percentage.
Our recruiters will go through your experience with you and make sure the BE99 as a DEC is the right fit for you. With what you've mentioned so far, it sounds like you'd be a great fit for the BE99.
AMF training is tough, but only because they need you to be trained/prepared. Study what they send you, have a good attitude, and you should be good to go.

Thank you FreightDogs, really appreciate it. I’ve been scoping out my next step, looks like AMF is great fit.

SDF is all metros and BE1900s, so it will depend on where your experience is coming in. I don't know if there are any current openings, but we do have turn over there (as at every base) so that would be the main driving factor once you are qualified.

I'm gonna copy this over to the primary AMF thread. I know recruiting monitors that one.

AMF Training
 

Good advice from FreightDogs. I can't really add much else. Study prior to arrival to indoc is very important. Follow the study priority outlined in the welcome packet; it helps. I came to flying single-pilot night IFR in icing conditions at Ameriflight from flying VFR helicopters. Big transition, but possible with preparation. Study study study, and if you're not comfortable flying IFR without a GPS, hop in a sim and turn the GPS off. Pretty much all our aircraft have GPS, but you'll be expected to fly without it.

I'm happy to answer any questions.

Good luck!

FlightLife,

Thank you for the feedback, that's good to hear. Most of my time is VFR cross country (GA) and years back i used to tow gliders. I plan on focusing hard this fall in doing as much M.E. IFR work i can in prep for this potential opportunity. My goal is to get a shot at the 99 out of DFW and hopefully upgrade to the 1900 from there. Thanks again.

Flight Min Update
 

Just an update on Ameriflight's SA227 Captain TT min.
Ameriflight just changed the TT min for SA227 Captains to 2,000 TT.

Full flight mins for that position:
SA227 Captain: 2,000 TT, 250 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 1,000 PIC, 100 instrument, 200 Turbine, 121 or 135 experience

Do ACP pilots get paid the same starting salary of $50,000, or is it the same as the FO on a EMB?

ACP pilots start out as FOs in either the SA227 or BE1900, so they receive the same FO pay as in the E120. Once they become captains (either restricted or unrestricted) in the BE99, then they make the $50K captain pay.

Would someone with 1000TT apply to ACP or should they apply for a listed captain vacancy? I ask since I understand at 1000TT ACPs are made restricted captains till 1200TT.

I would say just apply and let the recruiter sort it out. FreightDogs, what say you?
