My question is what limitations if any are placed on the single pilot waivers in the c560 Ultra? Is there a weight restriction and how do the insurance companies look at and treat the whole thing?
Thanks to all in advance.
I cannot speak for the Ultra, but single-pilot in a CJ is a piece of cake with no insurance restrictions...and insurance wasn't unreasonably priced at all.
I don't think there are any restrictions/AFM limitations on any of the CE500 series if you're flying under a SPW.
Also - why is insurance requiring 200 hours in type?!? Unless the pilots are really low time or have little/no jet experience, that's ridiculous...
