It's a fractional program under FAR 91 Subpart "K", and yes they have "op-specs" like a Part 135 program.

91.1001 Applicability


(8) Fractional ownership program management services or program management services mean administrative and aviation support services furnished in accordance with the applicable requirements of this subpart or provided by the program manager on behalf of the fractional owners, including, but not limited to, the—
(i) Establishment and implementation of program safety guidelines;
(ii) Employment, furnishing, or contracting of pilots and other crewmembers;
(iii) Training and qualification of pilots and other crewmembers and personnel;
(iv) Scheduling and coordination of the program aircraft and crews;
(v) Maintenance of program aircraft;
(vi) Satisfaction of recordkeeping requirements;
(vii) Development and use of a program operations manual and procedures; and
(viii) Application for and maintenance of management specifications and other authorizations and approvals.
 
So, if the airplane requires two pilots on it's TC, and you're qualified in accordance with 61.55, you can log the time and SIC.

If the airplane DOESN'T require two pilots, but the 91K regs or the OPSpecs do, then you can also log SIC time.

A type rating isn't required for SIC time, as I read the regs, if the flight is domestic in the US.

Well, of course.

Forgive me, but I have no idea what airsprint is, and it was only described as a, um, "certified sic program" or some such, which sounded fishy. I'll admit that I worked under that assumption. I will stop now.
 
Ops specs supersede the general FAR's. If an SIC is required per op specs, then you are legally able to log that time.
 
I'm not convinced that 91K get actual op-specs... is that true? The reg quoted above is a bit nebulous "program operations manuals and procedures" sounds different from FAA OPerations SPECifications.

We have a PC-12 on our certificate in the southeast US. Operates both 91/135. OpSpec's call for 2 pilots only when flying a active 135 leg. We pay a contract FO $150/day and the owner covers the training. I think that is more than fair and so does he.
