content related to incorrect responses are fully under- stood by the student. All four stages require the same passing percentage to progress.
The second stage introduces knowledge related to various hydraulic systems, control inputs, as well as pressurization and fuel systems found on turbine aircraft. The student will also receive thorough knowledge of the related systems for the Beechcraft King Air Model 90.
Students then go on to learn about various methods of ice and rain protection, landing gear systems and annunciator systems during the third stage. At this point, they also become familiar with fire protection systems as well as limitations, in addition to determining performance and weight and balance in turbine aircraft. This is followed by the final stage, where students are introduced to the performance factors, weight and balance, and the advanced weather and navigation equipment found on turbine aircraft.
N370U is hangared at the University of Oklahoma Max Westheimer Airport (KOUN), which is owned by the school. The five hours of flight time is split amongst three flights, with the first and third averaging one and a half hours long and the second two hours. During each lesson the instructor will also assume the role of nonflying pilot and will assist the student with execution of checklists, radios and navigation. Most flights are limited within the three
practice areas to the south of KOUN, with boundaries extending roughly 20 nautical miles south and 25 nautical miles on each side.
The aircraft itself has largely remained “stock,” although it has undergone improvements over the years, including a new interior and several upgrades to comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. Among these betterments are an upgrade from the original GNS400 to a GTN725, a digital radar replacing the original, and a system upgrade to WAAS and ADS-B (in and out). Of course, the King Air’s paint scheme is white and Oklahoma crimson with an OU logo on the tail.
