ICAO Restriction on BE300s
Our King Air 300 registration has an international 12,500 pound weight restriction as do many similar King Airs.
Question:
Is that just a single pilot restriction, or an across the board restriction on all operations?
And....what can be done to lift the restriction?

The King Air B200 has a max weight of 12,500. The B300 is 14,000 and the B350 is 15,000. I have operated the 200 and 350 all over the world and never had any weight restrictions. The only change we had was to fly the 350 with two pilots as some countries do not recognize the single pilot type rating.

Does the LW 12.5 limit apply domestically as well?
