204 – FlyRight King Air 350 Simulator Training was Awesome!

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing my experience of going through the training course for a Type Rating in the King Air 350. FlyRight in Concord, North Carolina was definitely the best choice for this training!

FlyRight is a very professional training center with a family-type feel about it. They specialize in King Air, Caravan, and Dash 8 training. I was so impressed with the whole program, and especially the people. They are friendly, they have extensive experience, and they are absolutely committed to your success.

I’m now working for a local company, and Tuesday was my first trip with them in the King Air. I really love this airplane!


I’m returning to Classic Aviation on Monday for 2 maintenance projects as a part-timer there:

The first one is a capacity test on our King Air 350 battery… it’s time to verify it’s still in good reliable condition, as we certainly don’t want to get stuck far away from home with a weak battery.

The second one is changing the surface deice valve on an Aerostar. The valve has been intermittently not pulling the wing boots down flush after inflation. It’ll be a good time to get that taken care of as we are getting into the Winter flying season.

See you in the next episode!

Listen to the audio for this episode to hear what Dean’s been up to recently, and why there have not been many podcast episodes in recent weeks.

I’m transitioning out of the maintenance shop and into a flying job, and I’m very excited about the new season in front of me.
