The American Bonanza Society Air Safety Foundation highly encourages pilots receiving initial checkout work with a flight instructor knowledgeable about the specific make and model. Resources include the Beechcraft Pilot Proficiency Program (BPPP), a wholly owned subsidiary of the ABS Air Safety Foundation, and individual BPPP instructors. See www.BPPP.org for training dates and locations, and contact information for BPPP-standardized CFIs. Frequently an airplane purchase does not coincide with a BPPP training date or location, or for any number of reasons a new owner/pilot is unable to schedule training with a Beech-knowledgeable instructor. For that event we have created this training outline for pilots and their local instructors to address the most vital topics and operations during the critical initial checkout. This outline is not intended as a substitute for a thorough checkout by an instructor knowledgeable about the specific make and model and its current operations. This outline cannot address all topics, and the ABS-ASF and BPPP cannot be responsible for providing timely updates on information contained in this Guide. A necessary, thorough avionics checkout is outside the scope of this Guide because of the wide variety of avionics installed in individual aircraft.
We strongly encourage pilots to complete their type-specific checkout at the next BPPP Initial Training event in their area, then attend BPPP Recurrent Training annually as part of an aeronautical lifelong learning program.
