Oh man, I miss flying the mighty Beech 1900. Have almost 4,000 hours in that thing. 15 years later, and the CRJ, A320 and now Boeing 787 under my belt, but the most enjoyable flying I have done was in the 1900. Thanks for sharing and allowing me to re-live some fun times!
beats the hell out of the 99 I flew for bearsikin. Flying the 777 now for nearly 11 years, but I'd love to go back to flying beech turborprops, or the PC12.
Yeah it does. My trick was always to have the power on and align the AHRS while on the GPU. And right before the start shut them down. So after the starts when I turned them all on again, they’d essentially be aligned.
Yes we did. We didn't always have a GPU available though. It's been a long time since I have flown the 1900 but I think the AFM says to shut them off whether it's a GPU or a battery start. I usually left them until the last minute (when we had GPU) so the AHRS could initialize.
Great video...I have 3000 hours in the 1900C/D for a 121 carrier that used to operate in the US. One question on the cockpit preparation flow...I thought that we pulled the Fuel Firewall Shut-off valves with the battery switch off to check the Hot battery Bus?
I haven't flown the 1900 in a few years now, so my memory escapes me. It definitely makes sense and I'm sure we used to do it that way in the 200. I don't remember having to test specifically the hot battery bus, but we definitely tested the circuitry of the fire protection. In other words, does pulling the T handle actually close the valve, etc. In the 200 the first thing I always did was open the storm windows, pull the T handles and actually listen to the fuel valves close and keep trucking from there.
Yes, you're right...Our airline cockpit preparation flow for the CA was to pull the T-handles and listen for the valves to close...And, after the battery was on you completed the remainder of the test and then pushed the handles in...Been awhile for me as well...Sure miss flying that airplane!
Great video, I have a question, in what moment do you turn on the inverters? I think I saw them turned on for pre start checks, do you let them in this position for the start procedure?.
Honestly it has been about 4 years since flying the 1900, I do not remember well. So maybe someone can correct me, but I believe in the D model I left the AC bus switches on (these switches powered the inverters), and powered the avionics until I was ready to start (made the AHRS initialization quicker), and then shut off just the 4 avionics switches, prior to starting.
@@FlyZRG Ok, I can see the inverters are used for Avionics (radios/gps/ehsi/etc) prior eng start and itselft checks (ON OFF TRANSFER) after eng start. Usually the inv checks is done before gen ties checks. I have read many docs about it.. ..Flight Safety/POH/etc.. ...love the 1900D... ...and C. Thank you

I am working on a roadable seaplane that can carry 19 passengers and 1 pilot as full scale, with sizes down to 1/2 scale. Land on road, drive down road. Folds to 8.5 feet wide by 9 feet high. 7 props, 6 forward and 1 back with two motors. NOT electric. About 1/3 fuel flow than turbines. Has wheel drive which functions as compressor group in flight, so no weight penalty. Lands with power on at 30 mph, power off 60 mph. Max cruise 300 mph at 12k feet. Costs will be 20 cents/mile per passenger, or similar to airliners, but faster and door to door. Smaller 90% to 50% scales can fit in garage. This 1900D will be totally obsolete. This paradigm will soon be over. No need for airport. Use road. The entire system will change big time... Run it on fuel made from nuclear power....
i think the moving camera is pretty good because otherwise you cant really see some things because theyre too tiny. i think the only problem is the cameras auto light thingy here where it gets too dark because its brighter outside than in the cockpit
Moriz Krämer , if they can program their camera to lock onto the exposure settings when looking down at the instruments/ power levers, it would be much better☺️
Terrible video. No commentary as tp what the pilot is doing on engine start is worthless. Are we just supposed to be impressed with the pilot flipping dials and switches?

sounds like a blast. i just got my CPL+IR and the 1900 and Twin Otter are at the top of my list for planes to fly
Wow, 1900s & Otters👌🏾
How about a Nobel prize for the guy who invented noise cancellation.

What an airplane the 777 is though. As a pax I'm always amazed at the enormous engines. Fantastic engineering. The twin king! 300ER my fav.
Flew this back in the day with the commuters, what a great aircraft!
Cool paint job!
😍😍😍😍😍 got to love the 1900D such a neat plane to fly in
Wonderful blend of both steam gauges and electronic displays
if you could also bring the camera a bit lower so instruments can be read would be great, thanks for sharing ...!!!
Just got my CPL with a group 1 IFR. Hoping to land a gig on one of these with my impressive TT of 213 hours lol
Hi, where are you flying at these days?
Mr.X also curious
hey did you make it to the 1900?
@@thisisurcaptain was flying piper out of downtown Toronto. Been laid off since March. Got about 500 tt. Loved it while it lasted
cool man. good job making progress. i have 383 tt looking for my first flying gig.
Thank you for sharing this.
A real aircraft that takes real skill to fly, no computers flying this thing.
Sounds like you don’t have a clue.
Great Vid! Wrapping up my CPL at YQR, next stop multi-IFR hoping to end up at Stoney Rapids in a 1900 in 2020.
Those old steam gauge turbo props were fun airplanes to fly!
Nice job crew
Wow, that is an amazing video, thanks for sharing! Liked and subscribed!
Love all those steam gauges!
love this plane its totally awesome
This was a great video! Please post some more. You sir have a new sub
thanks! I'll do my best. I'm working on one now. getting footage in the q400 now.
Awesome!
Going to flight safety to get my type rating next week. Looks like fun!
hi.I am planning for my type rating too..Do you have any soft copy
study material for this aircraft to study before rating.
Look at all of those steam gauges. And that is just for two engines.
I have a question, what kind of job do you get to fly older smaller airliners. Just like this one, or others.
hi.I am planning for my type rating too..Any one of you have any soft copy

What does the low pitch button switch do?
Does This bird has a ahrs system to the navdata inertial system? Cause i couldnot see any adir algnments
Yeah it does. My trick was always to have the power on and align the AHRS while on the GPU. And right before the start shut them down. So after the starts when I turned them all on again, they’d essentially be aligned.
@@FlyZRG you good pilot broh
Cool one
Do you normally do GPU starts with the AC's off?
Yes we did. We didn't always have a GPU available though. It's been a long time since I have flown the 1900 but I think the AFM says to shut them off whether it's a GPU or a battery start. I usually left them until the last minute (when we had GPU) so the AHRS could initialize.
Also after right engine starts and you turn on the engine generator do you then turn it off before left engine start or you keep it on throughout?
Oohh very cold in Canada por that black
Did the controller say "contact Winnipeg center"?
you betcha

Why all no 2 enigne first ?
1900s and King Airs have the battery closest to the #2 engine so it can get more power, and the GPU plugs in on the left side on the 1900
Great video! That was a really fast engine start, IMO. Does this plane have an autopilot system?
The starts are usually a bit quicker with a GPU compared to a battery start. No Autopilot on this bird.
@@FlyZRG you should try and aim to fly the F50 one day
@@AbsolutelyEverybody1 no canadian airline operates the F50.
Most excellent. This is going up on my Twitter page @beech1900dotcom . Thanks!
Looks like a sim using TrackIR
Do passengers get headsets...damn this seems that it is a load plane to fly in if you are a passenger.
what do you use to record your microphone?
It's just an audio cable that plugs into the gopro and has jacks for your headset. You can find them on www.aircraftsrpuce.com and they are made by NflightCam
wow this xplane 11 looks soooo real! im buying one on steam right now! woohoooo
Good laughs. :-)
My first gig as captain and check pilot on the 1900. Back when pilots were pilots! 2020 make pilots great again 🤣

No GPS or FMC?

Muy oscuro el video, casi no se pudo ver nada.
Too fast to reconaice what switc You move
Hardly any play by play narration. Video did not capture dynamic range.
strange ass marshalling signals lmao
This type of camera viewing really sucks. You can not pay attention to anything. You don't see anything property. Go back to basics.
Pésimo video no se apresia.bien
Sorry, we are not a fan of there videos. The constant movements makes you sick. Stick with the old fashion ones. LOL
thanks for the tip! i wanted to try that but like you don't enjoy all the motion. I will stick to fixed camera view!
i think the moving camera is pretty good because otherwise you cant really see some things because theyre too tiny. i think the only problem is the cameras auto light thingy here where it gets too dark because its brighter outside than in the cockpit
good to know thanks! I'll work on my videography skills for sure.

Did you expect a type rating from an 11 minute long video ? Lol the entitlement of some folks online
