Moku is right about the BE30 type rating. In some parts of the world it also covers the 200 series!

The King Air 350 flight manual specifies minimum crew as one pilot. . King Air 200 is the same!

Questions arise because of the weight category!

BIK....... nup. Doesn't say "and one co-pilot". Checked the flight manual.

This question comes up a lot and it all depends on the flight manual specified crew and what operation it is performing. For example, many Citation V's fly single pilot on private op's but fly two pilot on commercial op's because they are required to because of the weight category.

Grey area I know.............causes a lot of head aches to many people but why not fly an aircraft that is worth millions of dollars/pounds with two pilots. If you can afford one, surely you can afford the pilots!!??
