In the show, they place a lot of emphasis on two crew, or is it two POB? Even when one of the crew is a little erm heavily built to fit in a Cirrus! Is this a policy of the ferry company, or necessary for insurance, or is it just a plot driver for the show? I'm not sure two crew can get much more daily utilisation than a single pilot and having flown quite a few 6 Hr days on my own I wonder if it really justifies the extra expense?
