How come you haven't been upgraded yet? With 5000 hours that is generally possible. That's a red flag right there, and a big one too...

Trying to get upgraded to 1900 etc but airlines aren't hiring me. What's wrong with still flying king Air at 5000+ hrs?

Upgrade: going from FO to Captain.

Why are you not a captain on the king air yet at 5000 hours?

First officer is same as Captain. Second Officer is right seat. That's a way for me to remember #1 and #2. If I called right seat person 1st officer it would mix me up when there's engine issues.

Can this thread just die? This guy is clearly just trolling. I know GGN gets lots of advertising hits but it's time to nuke it.

No no no. It must not die.

Roadie is one of those poor wreched souls who thinks he is putting one over on everybody. He does not realize we are not laughing with him, but at him...

Every now and then its fun to play with a troll. And , quite frankly 5000hrs on microsoft flight sim is quite a feat. Weeks spent in your parents basement..

Doubt he has ever been in a real King Air, but that makes his nonsencial posts even funnier

Alright troll. You want to earn your first rank after all that flight sim? Answer us this.
On approach, what do you do to adjust for altitude and airspeed? Power for altitude and pitch for speed, or power for speed and pitch for altitude?

Depends on if I'm using autopilot or hand flying.

Hell of an autopilot for a King Air.

Roadie Trolldee, you are coming off as ridiculous. :rolleyes:
No, I use my hands on power levers to control speed when autopilot on. When hand flying without FD it's the opposite.
