Thanks to bstolle's sign off at the bottom of his messages, we now know that the forthcoming King Air C90 is the B model. A King Air flight training business operating to qualify pilots in the King Air series offers the actual Beechcraft POH and flight manual (without updates) for the C90B as a download for $5.00. The same from Beechcraft costs many times that price. It can be ordered at http://shop.kingairtraining.com/C90B-Pilots-Operating-Handbook-and-Airplane-Flight-Manual-0004.htm After placing an order, expect the e-mail with the download link not sooner than the next day.

Additionally, if someone wants to download various aircraft gouge on systems and procedures SmartCockpit http://www.smartcockpit.com/plane/raytheon/BEECHCRAFT-KING-AIR-90-SERIES/ is another place to look. The site has info on a lot of aircraft, but some aircraft are listed but only have a limited amount of info. I was surprised to find the whole series of Gulfstream G100 thru GV. GV has almost everything loaded such as a 28 page guide to the APU system or 83 page guide to the powerplants. One caveat to the site is to never use the manuals for real flight.

thanks for that manual.... I just bought it for $5 you can't lose...

FlightSafety, an international pilot training business, has a great supplement to the POH and flight manual for the C90B. Their publication provides more graphics on items like instrument gauges as well more pictures of cockpit features. This can be downloaded at http://www.scribd.com/doc/70691023/King-Air-C90-A-BRuss

The question is how far off the Caranado C90 will be off from reality. I found I had to make my own checklist for the PA46T.

Hi "Bytes" and All ----Well, I jumped in and picked up a download of the POH and it does have some great info in it as expected. I certainly hope the wait for the C90B is indicative of the quality of the plane that will be offered.You never know until you see it so we wait anxiously. My biggest hope is that they do not put their infamous faux weather radar in it without a path to installing the RXP500 neatly to have real functional radar. All in the quest of reality and accurate fun flying this plane. Let's hope the wait translates into a real nice product.Cheers :( BobAdded: saw today's added photos of the C90B...noted the Avidyne display. Anyone know what the functionality of that unit is ??? Avidyne EX600 per chance ??

The RXP "wx" radar really isn't showing weather, it's only displaying clouds. So technically it's not very realistic, but I know where you're coming from. It makes you feel like you've got a weather radar

Hiya Bert -- and thanks for the reply. Well, I was close with the guess but no cigar :-)It will be interesting to see what functions are there. Anxiously awaiting the C90B.Cheers --- Bob :(

Hello Russ,

 

I have just discovered your post yesterday. Thank for the information. I have bought the C90B POH. At 5$ it is a bargain. By comparaison the NATOPS T-44A POH cost me 15$. But no regret to have both manuals.

 

Have a good day

 

Benoit

I just downloaded it yesterday and it's great. Very valuable just for the Performance section, which has helped me dial in my flight planning!

Hi,

Dave,

I tried it again and also got the Page 404 error. I looked at the URL and saw that upon clicking it is picking up the word "after" at the end of the link. Try again, then use your backspace key to erase back to the end of ....htm. Then it will work. Better yet, click below. I did it for you and pasted the corrected link:
