Just a quick question on an hours related issue here........
I hold a Canadian CPL ME/IR and am logging what is classed in north america as "co-pilot" hours on a PA31-350 Chieftain in a commercial op. My question is, how are these hours perceived in Europe if I was to come back and do my JAR Conversion? The AOC of the op I fly on has the Chieftain certified as a 2 crew operation as it has no autopilot and therefore is not certifiable for single pilot IFR. However I do not believe the POH has anything about this being a certified 2 crew aircraft (which it isn't, but then again, I have a friend who is FO on a Beech 1900 and its POH also certifies it as a single pilot a/c!)
So to any potential employer in Europe, would these hours have any value, seeing as they are not PIC Multi?
Thanks for any info:ok:
