If the job is still going - drop me a line.

Out of interest to the other responses I have operated 550 (series) aircraft single crew for a long time. They were designed as a single crew aircraft with an owner/operator consideration for the Cessna sales force. Trust me, they are a lot easier to operate, and far more forgiving, than other single crew twin prop aircraft!!

I did it my way! . .The concept of two crew is one that has been proven over many years. The fact is ( read books on human performance) the quality of performance given by two crew is higher than that of a lone maverick. Perhaps machoism comes into it over wherever you are. You can fly a 747 on your own if you need to. . .This post needs closing! The discussion warrants its own column perhaps.

With the june 2000 JAR FCL 1 revision, the only multi engine turbo-jet (land) Single Pilot Aircraft were

Aerospatiale MS760 Paris S760. .Cessna C501/551/525

From the latest AGM FCL (february 2002, TGL 4, part 3) it has been changed to

Aerospatiale MS760 Paris S760. .Cessna C501/500SP*/501/550SP*/525

On page 4-1 it states under item 9. that

"At the request by the UKCAA and DGAC-France the Cessna 500 and 550 have been added to the Single Pilot Multi-Engine Turbojet Type Rating list when the aeroplane is single pilot certificated. Note the reference to SP*"

I assume this means that even before JAA, the UK treated all C500/501/550/551 as single pilot aircraft ? I know they are essentially the same, but the 0/1 suffix was meant to be MPA/SPA, right ?

. .Any way, good luck with your operations, whether single or multi pilot ops.

C500/550/560 TRE 4000 TT 1500 on type. Any good ?
