All courses require a classroom, a picture Cockpit Familiarization Trainer (CFT) that depicts the entire cockpit, and a FAA certified flight simulator. The UC-12 B/F/M courses must be taught at a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 142 Raytheon/Beechcraft King Air BE-200 certified Training Center or flight training facility with a demonstrated record of providing acceptable BE-200 military pilot training. The flight simulator(s) used for the UC-12 B/F/M courses must be FAA certified to Level "C" or higher under current FAA Advisory Circular 120-40 criteria for the Raytheon/Beechcraft King Air BE-200-200 configured cockpit. Non-FAA BE-200 simulators that have fidelity to military versions of the BE-200 will be acceptable provided they have capabilities equivalent to Level "C" or higher criteria under FAA Advisory Circular 120-40. All contractor BE-200 pilot instructors shall be certified under 14 CFR Part 142 or shall be FAA Certified Flight Instructors with Airplane Multi-engine, Land Class and Instrument Airplane Ratings (CFII-ME) with experience in the BE-200 or possess a FAA Advanced and Instrument Ground Instructor's certificate in the BE-200.
