To be clear, because the point seems in danger of being lost: you cannot log any kind of time in this airplane under part 91 as long as the other guy is logging time (barring all the safety pilot caveats, etc.) The airplane requires no SIC so you are not a required crewmmember. I get so tired of people trying to convince me otherwise, or just doing it anyway. I have known owners who preferred two pilots and would pay a right seater a daily rate, which is great. but understand that it's just a bit of cash for talking on the radio, NOT loggable time.

If it were me and I was really tight with the actual pilot or owner, I'd shoot for a daily rate that gave me the flexibility to pursue an actual job. Besides, how much is an owner going to pay a guynthat is not required to be on the payroll in any way?

Technically, I dont think you can even be on the radio.

OP, right seat is nice for learning purposes and maybe a dead leg. I did stuff like this in a Baron and was lucky to get $50 a day. I would often doze off, too.
 
HI

I wanted to ask if anyone know what the current salary would be for a first officer on the Pilatus PC12 for a new start up part 91 Company. Is 50 grand around the ball park figure

Whatever you can get. 50K would be a lucky find to say the least...

If you are very, very low experience you may just learn a few things, and thats great. Take that and move on quickly to a real flying job. PIC time is vital early on in this game, does not matter much what its in...just get PIC time.

Nobody wants a career SIC, and I have seen them as old as 60.

Good Luck!

On days like today and yesterday, you should be writing the check and washing the plane.

Save the hate mail, I am just kidding... sort of...
 
Do you have Canadian certs? Pointless if you don't. That being said, in the US of A it's worthless flight time, can't log it and most people will make fun of you if you try.... Try another avenue. :)
 
How important is it to the owner to have 2 qualified pilots? Some will up the salary to "take care" of their pilots. Yes, I've seen it done before.
 
since there is no such thing as a "pilatus first officer"

Actually there is such a thing...just like there is such a thing as "King Air first officer" or "Baron" first officer due to OpSpecs.

Planesense kinda sets the "bar" for something like this...

Don't argue for the sake of argument. The situation presented to us is part 91. There is no pc-12 sic. Ya know, no ops specs.
