SIC Type rating

[LR60guy]

was in canada less than a week ago and i don't have a sic, no one said anything.

not required in mexico.

Actually, it IS required. It just hasn't been enforced. That is changing, however, and Mexico and Canada are enforcing the rule (an aircraft requiring 2 crewmembers must have both pilots type-rated) . Thus the creation of the SIC type-rating here in the States.

Actually you are breaking CAR or JAR regulations.

Those regs dont count, just like canada dosn't count in the real world. Seriously i'll go get it this week.

you are breaking FAA regulations! ...you guys need to keep up. This is new:


§ 61.55 Second-in-command qualifications.

[URL]http://www.aopa.org/images/members/files/fars/ret-arrow-generic-grey.gif top[/URL]
(a) A 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 pilot flight crewmember only if that person holds:
(1) At least a current private pilot certificate with the appropriate category and class rating; and
(2) An instrument rating or privilege that applies to the aircraft being flown if the flight is under IFR; and
(3) The appropriate pilot type rating for the aircraft unless the flight will be conducted as domestic flight operations within United States airspace.

# 3 means SIC type rated or PIC type rated for the SIC!!!!!

Dude put the bong down! On the contrary, those CAR or JAR regs count when you fly in their country in an N registered aircraft just as any foreign Air Carrier must comply with ours. Look up the new FAR part 61, CAR or JAR FCL1.
