Single plane single pilot 135

[brokeflyer]

Would there be many differences if it was a single pilot turbine 135 such as an Eclipse 500?

you'll have to have an SIC. You cant run a jet single pilot under part 135.

You can have 1 PIC and up to i think 5 SIC's on the papers....

Does FAA normally grant twin turboprops (i.e. Turbo commander, <12,500lbs) for single pilot ops? I realize that often clients have insurance that sometimes require a 2nd pilot (hesitant to call it SIC, since one isn't required per manufacturer certification). thx

autopilot in leiu of sic is a rubber stamp. Just take the check ride.

Not sure, but I think that requires an upgrade to a Basic 135 certificate. You need someone to sign off the SIC's for a checkride.

not really, unless they changed the rules, it used to be that you can have 1 PIC and up to 5 sic's....there is no sign off required for part 135 check.

for the turboprop single pilot you can fly those 135 single pilot, what most places do because of their cheapness, is get a "seat filler" if a customer requires an SIC.

Wow lots of wrong information here.

-Yes you can run a jet single pilot 135, I did it in a CJ for years
-yes you need 135 checks....always.

i retired from the FAA in 1996.....as i said before im sure there's been a few changes.

It "used" to be, you could have a single pilot/plane operation and after initial cert, you didnt have to do a checkride again to keep your cert, you only needed currency if you were to do a flight.

But like i said, its been years since i was in the office.

But then again, the FAA approval is only half the battle...

...you still gotta get your insurance to sign off on single pilot jet 135

Check FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 2, Chapter 4. This will let you see what the FAA uses as a go by.
