Check out 61.51....
The Logging of flight time is what's important to this issue. Sometimes there is a difference between who is required and who can log what.
Now-you could possibly log this flight time, IF the plane doesn't have an approved autopilot, and IF it is an IFR flight.
People need to be very careful with this one.... Some companies have an insurance policy which requires two pilots, even though the FARs do not. I am not sure about this outfit, but if they have approved autopilots, no one can legally log SIC at any time.
Many scumbag operations will tell all their young impressionable F.O.s that an SIC is always required, and they can always log that time..... Maybe so, maybe not-especially if an F.O. is only required for insurance purposes.
One thing I am certain of is that the Caravan is not a two-pilot type certification aircraft. There may be times when two pilots are required, but they are not required to operate the aircraft.
Be very careful with this stuff-it can cost you a job one day if the people looking at the ol' logbook really know the regs and you are logging incorrectly. Uncomfortable questions can arise.
I undersand 61.51. (See 14CFR 61.55 (f)(2)) Even if the airplane has an autopilot, if the captain didn't get the autopilot exemption on his 8410, or does not have 100 hours in type, according to the FAR's, carrying passengers, you have to have an SIC. If you are trained, checked and required per the operaions, you can log it. Even though the minimum crew is 1 in a caravan, if the operation (through ops specs or FAR's, not insurance) requires two pilots, you can log it as SIC.
If two airlines service the same airport the sub. is not renewed..
