They don't log any time as SIC because the baron is only a single pilot airplane.
I hope that helps.
I'd like to know the same thing as Boiler, how do they get around it?
"no certificate holder may use a person, nor may any person serve, as pilot in command of an aircraft under IFR unless that person--
(1) Holds at least a commercial pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings and, if required, an appropriate type rating for that aircraft; and
(2) Has had at least 1,200 hours of flight time as a pilot, including 500 hours of cross country flight time, 100 hours of night flight time, and 75 hours of actual or simulated instrument time at least 50 hours of which were in actual flight; and"

If I'm not mistaken, IF the OPSPECS require it, you can require an SIC on a single pilot aircraft, can you not?
Also, I believe there is a reg that if you have a something along the lines of a postal contract, there must be an operating autopilot OR and SIC on the aircraft. Can't remember where that's at exactly, it's been a long time since I had to look at it.
