I am the Safety Officer in my ground school class and supposed to give a 3-5 minute update on new safety things to be aware of in the plane. Do any of you guys have any ideas for me to go over with the class. All I need is a couple subjects because this is the first time doing it. After this I'll have a sense of direction of what to talk about.

Cheers

It sounds like they are either looking for a criminal, or lost hiker, or a hiker in distress.

Or, if there is a road in that area, it may be a bad accident happened & they're having trouble finding everyone involved.

I assume you are in USA...? - FAA regulations...?
All you need is a single engine rating (Caravan) or multiengine (King Air) -
As you say, up to the limit of 12,500 - Beyond that weight, type rating required -

I would recommend you to study these airplanes in detail before flying them -
Handling of a turboprop engine is different -
Get the proper manuals, and a qualified pilot (of instructor) to give you a checkout -
Whether you have a "complex" signoff or not does not matter...!
Be "specific" with such sophisticated airplanes...

Retired airline pilot

.
Airliners are tested with fuel tanks full on one wing and empty on the other wing...
But these are test pilots handling the flights -
You are NOT -

Flight manuals of each type show a recommended lateral limit -
Pan American 747 operations manual limited lateral unbalance to 5,000 lbs -
Was not a limitation, but a recommendation...!
Surprisingly, they did not consider if it was for inboard/outboard wing tanks -

Swept wing outboard full tanks also bring the CG aft -
Many such airplanes have a fuel burn sequence to maintain the CG within limits -

And you are probably familiar with forward and aft CG envelope -
You probably saw that 747F video which crashed at takeoff - Bagram (Kabul) -
A vehicle carried was not secured and shifted the CG aft of limits -

.
Typical "type rating" training for Gulfstream Jet is similar to Boeing 737 BBJ training -
The "size" of a corporate jet (if a small Learjet) does not matter -

Experience is what counts -
Flight hours (such as Civil Air Patrol) do not mean much -

You can become a corporate pilot coming from an airline -
When I was first officer with an airline, I used to fly part time with a corporate jet -

Some corporate pilots "upgrade from within" -
They can start as first officer King Air and later become captain Falcon Jet -
It is always a question of pilot experience -
