I understand that if the Phenom is operated on a US registry then they may be operated single pilot. I assume the JAA got over-involved and insisted that they be operated as a multi-pilot aircraft...(when it need not be). Is the Phenom not certified for single pilot operations? If it is indeed certified for single pilot operations, then why is it not operated in that manner. It seems similar to the concept that if an aircraft is certified for flight into known icing conditions....that it should not be flown into icing conditions because icing conditions can be potentially more hazardous than VFR conditions. My point is that the makers of the Phenom wennt to great lengths to make their little jet single pilot friendly....for apparently no reason. I don't get it.
