King Air 350 Singe Pilot on AOC
Whilst the 350 is certified for SP and can be flown SP I was always under the impression that it had to be 2 crew for any commercial ops. Based on the ANO requiring 2 pilots for PT flights by aircraft over 5700kg. Moving forward to EU-OPS and now EASA IRs all I can find is that 2 crew are required for IFR flight in turboprops with a MOPSC of more than 9. (ORO.FC.200).
So if a King Air 350 is configured with only 8 seats + 1 on the potty, does that mean that it could be operated as CAT on an EASA AOC with only a single pilot?
One of those frustrating situations where you thought you have always known the answer but now can't find any regulatory/legislative entry to confirm or clarify!
Any of the UK operators working SP? - Gama/Xclusive Jet/FlairJet?
