None of Eagles 1900s have autopilots mate so by NZCAA rules they must have two crew for IFR ops. Its the same for any aircraft..no autopilot 2 crew..even a C152.
Bollocks....the days of having 2 of everything (ADF/VOR/ASI/ALT etc etc) and an autopilot for single pilot ops are long gone. You can fly anything single pilot ops except where the flight manual for the aircraft type dictates otherwise and as long as you can communicate without having to take your digits off the flight controls. Nothing to do with whether there is an autopilot or not.
2 crew..even a C152
....pleeease
