Right Seat Time In KingAir 200?
Question, I am trying to get on with a local corporate flight department. I have been told by many pilots that you can ride right seat in the 200 (under 12500 lbs.) which does not require a type rating, or co-pilot, and log the time that you are the sole manipulator of the controls. I have my CMEL with instrument. I have 100 multi, 1200 tt, no turbine time. The Chief pilot of the company tells me their insurance company requires 200 multi, 2500 tt for a co-pilot in the kingair under part 91 ops. Is he blowing smoke up my a** or is this the norm. There is another corporate outfit where I live flying the 200 that routinely allow their co-pilots with very little multi time to fly right seat to build time, provided the person in the left seat meets the minimum insurance requirements. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks
