Geez, do you fly 12+ hour missions without a relief pilot? I thought that was against standard insurance policies, even if part 91 doesn't regulate that itself.
I don't think I ever said fly 12hrs without a relief pilot? We always take one on long trips. We usually have 1-2 pax only and a pilot "rests" in back. Many who have ditched the rest area have used a curtain design to corner off a rear seat. IMO it sucks, but again, Im just a pilot..I have used OEM rest areas and have "rested" in back - neither does a bit of good if you ask me...3 tired pilots instead of 2.
I never saw anything in insurance policies about relief pilots? thats a new one to me!
I dont know the BOW - its similar to all 7Xs out there. Our requirement was to come out being able to do full fuel, 6 pax + 4 crew, and we can.
