Question posted under 135 charter also

How does your certificate do it?

I fly a King Air B200 under Part 135 operating as a two pilot crew. The question I have for other 135 operators is this. Although you do or do not need the SIC, does your company have the SIC, assuming he/she has the minimum time requirements, be PIC qualified and hold a PIC 8410?

Also, if there is anyone here who is aviation insurance savy, or in the insurance industry, would it not be more becomming to the insurance company if both the PIC and SIC held a current PIC 8410?

Thank you ahead of time for any responsed to this.

135 sic

I was a BE-200/90 135 check pilot for our company. Although 2 Captains sometimes flew together as a general rule we had guys that were sic only and held 8410's . Their checkrides were only once a year as they did not require a 6 month instrument check or line check. They were also required less manuvers on their checkride. Anyone in the cockpit touching a control MUST have a current 8410. Also as a reminder, Autopilot INOP = sic required in pax ops. Some freight companies have gottten single pilot without an autopilot.
