Unless things have changed it will be 1 week of INDOC, then 3-4 weeks for aircraft SIC type, then 2 weeks IOE. Nothing crazy, nor difficult as long as you put in the study time and effort.

For any recent FO hires, what are the common TT and ME times when offered?

The First SA340 on our certificate flew for the first time last Friday (9/23/2022). We are planning for the first operational flight next Monday.

FO minimums for the 340 are the same as for our E120s. Currently all 340s will be based out of DFW with our ESCS (Charter) department.

Any idea why they are bringing the 340 on board?

Expansion. The aircraft and support are very available.

Be1900, phx
 

Anyone here that is or was a BE1900 Capt in the recent past? I am curious about the Intensity level of training as well as the typical flying one would expect in that airframe. Specifically at the PHX 'branch'.

Three-hour sim sessions. You will be expected to have flows and callouts cold - study materials provided well in advance. If you can stay on top of things without a moving map you will be fine. Not that the 1900 training is without one but you have to be competent.

Forgot to mention NO coupled approaches, NO flight director. The Metro, 1900, and 99 all have S-tec with altitude, which can be deferred, and are normally flown single-pilot.

Thanks for your input. I take that as it is 'fairly intensive' - Sounds good.

Do y’all still use a 1900D sim with the EFIS 84 and flight director for the type ride? IMO that sim vs a 1900C makes for an easier checkride, considering all the bells,whistles and performance.
