Part 91 SIC C550 Is this good chance?

Don't tell the feds you can use just anyone.

61.55 Second-in-command qualifications.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no person may serve as a second-in-command of an aircraft type certificated for more than one required pilot flight crewmember or in operations requiring a second-in-command unless that person has within the previous 12 calendar months:
(1) Become familiar with the following information for the specific type aircraft for which second-in-command privileges are requested—
(i) Operational procedures applicable to the powerplant, equipment, and systems.
(ii) Performance specifications and limitations.
(iii) Normal, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures.
(iv) Flight manual.
(v) Placards and markings.
(2) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this section, performed and logged pilot time in the type of aircraft or in a flight simulator that represents the type of aircraft for which second-in-command privileges are requested, which includes—
(i) Three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop as the sole manipulator of the flight controls;
(ii) Engine-out procedures and maneuvering with an engine out while executing the duties of pilot in command; and
(iii) Crew resource management training.

I was referring to what our insurance policy states, which is exactly what I outlined. I didn't mean to imply that it was legal or safe to operate with an SIC that does not meet 61.55 requirements, just that our policy does not explicitly require anything other than a license, current medical, inst rating, and RVSM training. Sorry for the confusion.

There's alot of this going around, in the Chicagoi land area and outfit was offering a Beech 400 SIC position at $18,000/yr. When asked about the low pay, the owner said that airlines can get pilots to fly RJs for the same amount. I hope no one took his offer

Oh, who was this, send me a PM but I think I know, was it out of PWK?
