Jetpilot500, great post, and I personally know 2 pilots at COEX that received their ATP and EMB-135 type ratings using SIC time on a "single pilot" aircraft. 1, seniority number about 300, has 500 hours SIC in a 1900, and another, seniority number about 800, has 300 hours SIC in a King Air 200.

In both cases the 121 airline accepted this SIC time, and more importantly, the FAA accepted this SIC time as Flight time for their 1500 required for the ATP!

Tailstall,

That's interesting that Canada requires a BE-20 type!

In the states you too can get a BE20 type, but it is very, very rare. You have to be flying an old Army 200 with a certified MTOW of 14,000#'s. Rare to find and even rarer to find someone typed in it!

Got a question about the 91 legs....If a company is based in PHL and picking up pax in PIT and going to ACY...I think many people are considering the empty leg from PHL to PIT to be 91...But wouldnt this be 135 as well becuase they are getting paid just like they are for the pit acy because that time is considered in the quote as well....An honest ?

Nope, repositioning is considered 91! However, you have to include this in your duty time and it will count towards your 14 hours.

I think what people are getting confused with are the different issues with the regs. As far as flying and Logging of Flight Time it is definately considered 91. What has happened is some unscrupulous companies have tried to maintain that since this is a 91 flight it should not count towards 135 duty time requirements.
