MCC for FO on single pilot aircraft?
Well it appears the pilot tree is full again. I just spied an ad on AFAP asking for King Air FO. At first I assumed it was an FO job flying a Hawker 850 and a King Air but it doesn't seem to be that way.
The funny thing is the King Air FO position requires you to have 50 PIC on type and have done an MCC course. Not only that but an ATPL also! If I had King Air PIC and an ATPL the last thing I would want to do is be a seat warmer on a single pilot aircraft. |
What model King Air? Could it be a contractual requirement?
|
Good luck complying with that contract requirement.
Good luck trying to log it too. |
The B350 is FAR25 and all that comes with that. |
There are one or more operators that have approval in the form of an exemption, permitted co-pilot time. It would be part of their ops manual. I imagine there would need to be some good reason.
As for the 50PIC, yes that might be a challenge to find a willing party. |
B200. I have seen an approval for 2 pilot ops for RPT but not an on demand charter mob
|
The sort of thing RIO and BHP get up to. Most smaller mining companies are happy enough with the requirements as prescribed by the regulator |

https://www.afap.org.au/pilot-jobs/p...KINGAIR%20B200 “Revesco Aviation is a leading Australian owned aviation organisation with a proven record in operating charters and managing contracts for some of Australia’s leading Oil and Gas and Mining companies. Revesco Aviation is looking to expand its operations and support another valued customer, by growing our flight operations business where an exciting opportunity has emerged for you to work with us as a Pilot In Command or First Officer on either the Hawker 8520 XP aircraft or the Beechcraft Per King Air B200 aircraft, or both.” |
Many a contract called for 2 pilots even in a Chieftain. If the client required it one must find a way. |
pilotchute, you are a party pooper! They are obviously looking for potential Captains. |
If you have 50 PIC you are a Captain. They just don't want to pay for a PIC. That is why the ad is for an FO.
They are stingy. |
Captain is not something you are or are not, it is a position you hold within a company. If the company have to operate a single pilot aircraft with two pilots and you are hired to sit in the right seat, then you are not a captain, even if you have 10,000 hours PiC on type. |

FO wanted for 737. Must have 737 PIC time Entry level FO remuneration offered Those without 737 PIC time not eligible |

"I have yet to come across a BE200 2 pilot SOP OM approval for RPT or Charter and I look at several operations per year." |
Spent half a life time flying two pilot on two aircraft types that were legal to fly single pilot in IMC, although we were confined to VFR. Why two pilot? Because that's what the owner/operator wanted.
