CPL above 12,500lbs

Not old enough?
Not experienced enough?
Not enough moral character?

Igneousy2,
Mostly not enough moral character........

But seriously, he is not 23 year-old yet.

I have also read that to operate under FAR91 subpart K, a PIC needs ATP.

Am I right to say that if we were to take the aircraft across the pond to England, he would not be able to fly as PIC?

I vaguely remember that the UKCAA has a PIC requirement of ATP for aircraft above 12,500lbs.

Hmmm....yep, yer right, there it is right there, 91.1053(a)(2)(i).
Subpart K, that's Fractional Owernership - never looked at it before. It's another kind of control of quasi-commercial operations, not regular part 91.

So, if it is a fractional owned airplane over 12,500, yep ya gotta have it, but if it's a regular registered airplane, I think the JAA requirement is for a JAA licensed pilot, but not a U.S.licensed pilot under regular part 61 and 91.

To the best of my recollection:



Part 91: Private or Commercial (depending on operation) for anything regardless of size or type of engine. Unless you are talking Subpart K, which I know nothing about.

Part 135 PIC:

ANY Jet pax-carrying operations (under or over 12,500#) requires ATP
Any Prop over 12,500# requires ATP for pax-carrying operations

Jet or prop cargo-only - Commercial

Prop meaning turbine or recip.


Part 121 PIC:

ATP for anything regardless of engine type or size.

Subpart K is new... no older than 2003. I guess the fractional ownerships got out of hand

Thank you everyone.

What I meant was, is holding a CPL good enough to operate a multi-engine jet above 12,500lbs as PIC?

If not, does the person need to hold an ATPL?

Else a PPL holder can be PIC on a 747, provided the flight is not flown for compensation or hire and that he/she has a type rating.

Who the hell is Else, your wife or your husband? And if he/she is neither, but both, I'd be suspecting he/she's medical, more than he/she's ability to PPL PIC on a 747.
