Is the Piaggio a two man crew or not?

It's certified for single pilot operation. For 135, you need two pilots.

91k requires 2 pilots in all turbine aircraft. Not 135. If I'm not mistaken, it also requires the captain to have his/her ATP.

Looks like I need to get back into the books.

I hope not, I've been flying it by myself for a while.

Single Pilot withan autopilot. for 135 no ATP.

Single pilot part 91 (just like all the King Airs). Part 91 does not require 2 pilots in all turbine aircraft!

Actually the A 57 op spec requires a two pilot crew so we need two pilot crews for revenue. only about 7 pilots in the company are allowed to do repos solo, and that depends many times on the weather
The A57 op spec is also where the rule for the PIC with an ATP comes from.

I believe the question was, is the Piaggio a two man crew or not? Your op specs have no bearing on what is required for the rest of us. I understand that two pilots and an ATP are requirements for your company but the aircraft is certified single pilot and can also be flown as such under part 135 as long as you are using an autopilot in lieu of a second in command.

I would think a Kingair 200 and a Piaggio would fall under the same regulations. Both are turbo prop aircraft under 12500lbs. So single pilot operations should be do-able for 91 and 135.

whiskytangofoxt, what kind of operation is your company?
