Single Pilot Ops
Not surprising. Remember hearing about the now famous story of a Falcon landing in Paris, grounding the aircraft untill a type rated SIC could be flown over. So I can imagine Single Pilot Ops are frowned upon.
Surprised that JAA takes precident over ICAO, with the single pilot exemption being ok, but I gather that's Europe.
Europe is very small part of the flying world, not hard to bring an SIC for the few trips we might do there. Interesting lasting in Vancouver BC sometime back they were curious that I didn't have a copilot.
At present there are about 100 pilots who fly under the single pilot exemption. Most fly in crews, but keep thier exemption active, because it takes a real airplane checkride to reinstate, logisticaly easier to do in the sim every year.
As a single pilot operator of a Citation Ultra, I would imagine that Cessna is not happy with this new development in Europe.
Say what you will about single pilot ops, it's really cool to fly a jet all by yourself.
