King Air Multi Crew.
Hi Folks,
I have searched the Forum for an answer to my next question, but nothing clear resulted so please bear with me if this thread has been here before.
I was under the impression and I am most probably wrong, that from King Air size up (i.e. pressurized A/C over a certain weight,) to operate under UK Public Transport Category rules and under an AOC, The aircraft had to be operated as a multi crew aircraft with both pilots being Type Rated and that all of the hours logged be they P1 or P2 counted towards the Multi crew hours required for ATPL issue.
1. What happens if that A/C is certified single pilot
2. If operated as Multi crew which I know that is down to the operators discression at times, do the hours in the right hand seat count if PNF.
3 Do the hours in total count towards the Multi crew hours needed for unfreezing the ATPL.
Please somebody clear this up for me as I have had untold debates about it.
Many Thanks in advance
