I think only ATPL's should touch them otherwwise with the way civilian training [I'm not military]---that is the lowest qualification for such a deicsion---and I mean a real ATP who ACTs like an ATP can do it---but too many pilots, too many levels,
so perhaps it best but a typical CPL NO!!
A good Ex Seneca perhaps,...An ex Lear 23 man definately ---but it is captain's discretion, but of course only in the best of situations with many limitation---because remember whose butt is on the line [everybody's]

and remember who shoulders all the guilt [dead or alive]

The CAPTAIN

that word [captain] is not an evil, bigoted anachronism that paints all Co-pilots with the same stroke as a concept, but rather, captain, signifies that of someone with the weight of all the world upon him and airwise, all the world signifies the ship and it's environment and all contents therein that may be damaged by its mishandling--including YOU!!!

Remember that!
