This has been hashed out previously. Read the following thread:

Basically, if it IS a KA-300 and the PIC has a "SIC required" type rating then the SIC is required... if not then not required.

Guys,
I hope some of you have glass bellybuttons . . . 'cause you've got your heads way up your *****! Yes, some King Airs require two pilots and a type rating. The 200 does not. However, the insurance underwriter may require two pilots for the airplane. Especially, considering the amount of liability insurance that a company like Aaron's is going to carry for their executive pax. This is also a great time building gig for anyone who has the foresight to take the job. The pay is slightly low, but it is probonly more than you could ever make as a CFI. And yes, you can log all the time you are on the stick.

It's a KA 300

It is a KA300, sorry.

None of the King Air series requires an SIC its all type certified for single pilot ops.

Now insurance may require the company to have 2 pilots in the cockpit, but that dosn't mean the guy in the right seat can log SIC time. Your just there as a warm body to make some insurance guy happy.

Well, I disagree with you on that one. I currently fly a 350 and one of our pilots is typed but does not have the single pilot endorsement. With that said, he requires a SIC to be legal.

Just my .02

It's a great way to build time and get your foot in the door. Also, remember that even though "you can't log it," you CAN log ANYTHING you want to in your logbook as long as your not trying to prove that time as required time for an FAA license or requirement.

Not true. Your logbook is a legal document, and falsifying it can get you in all kinds of trouble even if you're not going for a rating. Do you sign the little signature line that says that you certify that those entries are true? There ya go.

per multiple FAA Disignated Examiners, in the King Air scenario you can have a sperate column with "Unofficial SIC" time or something of that sort and show that as experience. Can you log that time when you weren't sole manipulator as flight time, NO, but you CAN have a column in your log book that shows that you were flying along side the captian and building EXPERIENCE.
