FW - WHERE do the regs actually say that ? No point in being annoyed. Flying multipilot crew does not always imply, that the PIC has to hold an ATPL - that depends on the performance certification of the aircraft and it's requirements as stated in the POH. As for it's hybrid charakter, the 1900s (or Metro's etc) should be treated as such - depending on the situation under which Part that particular flight is operated, different rules/laws will apply. They are even different between the D and the C Models as has been mentioned.
What has also been mentioned, is that the cockpitlayout would also have to be re-modified as there are certain standards that need to be fulfilled. i.e. check Solenta's post on page 2.
