The ones I can think of.

CJ, CJ1, CJ2, CJ3, Premier, C501, C551

SP with a waiver,(must be renewed every year.)

C-500,550,560(not the XL)

soon to be certified,

Eclipse, Adams, Honda(?), Sweirigen (sp?), Mustang

Probably a couple more I cannot think of right now.

What is SP?

Single Pilot. IE. C501SP, 551SP, etc. Only ones I can think of listed that way are Citations. Used to be the aircraft was certified single pilot. Now the pilot must do an SP course every year.

CJs are still certified single pilot. No yearly training needed if part 91.

The 501 and 551 are still SP with no waiver also. Not many 551's left since they take a weight hit to be SP certified, all paperwork changes, same as a 550 with a 12,500 weight limit if I remember correct.

What is SP?

What your referring to it does mean Single Pilot as everyone else has well covered.

However, you will find some Gulfstream's that are SP (ie. Gulfstream IV-SP), but it stands for Special Performance, as opposed to Single Pilot in this situation.

No Gulfstream's are certified Single Pilot, so make sure you don't ever mix those two up! Especially next time you see a Gulfstream, and try to convince your buddy that because it's an SP it can be flown Single Pilot!

Thanks.
Bunch more than Id thought.
Some SPs don't need an annual recheck... its a lifelong thing. (or maybe that is pt 91 vs 135?)
Insurance would require that and more anyway I guess.
