Question Which light jets are single-pilot certifiable?

I know the Cessna 500, 501, 525, and 550s are SP-able but what about others?

I have heard that Diamonds/Beechjets are, or were, as well as Sabreliners (didn't hear which model). Is this or WAS this true?

What about Rockwell Jet Commanders or IAI 1121s?

Thanks for any help at all!


Still mourning in the USA,

The Beechjet 400A is a multi crew airplane. There is no way one is able to certify it for single crew operation.

The Diamond was planed to be a single pilot airplane. But as far as I know, under FAA regulation it is a two crew aircraft.

LR-25 is a two-pilot a/c. Does anyone know if the CJ2 will be SP?

Yes ... the CJ1, CJ2, and Citation Bravo are all single-pilot certifiable. The Lear Jet family unfortunately is not ... and never will be according to the FAA. By all accounts they are often a handful with two up front!

I was really wondering about the Jet Commander/Westwind series and the Sabreliners. Anyone know?

Within the ANO or JAR-23, anything under 5,700kg MTOW can potentially be certified for single pilot operation.
