I can think of a million other places Id rather be than sharing the sky with that guy... Rich hot shots in VLJs will soon be falling out of the skies faster than doctors in Bonanzas.

What about lawyers in Cirruses (Cirrusi?)?

Wouldn't it be horrible to be at cruise for 3 hours and not have anybody to reach behind your seat to the mapco to get you a cup of coffee!!!!

I think the Falcon 10 is the same.

Some Falcon 10 have been certified single pilot in Europe. For certification you had to move an air cond valve from the cabin to the front to be accessible by the pilot.
Nowaday maybe one or two still flying with the single pilot approval.

Fixed it for you.

They built 226 and I’d bet more than 2 or 3 are flying.

Nicoooldudu:

You beat me to it.

I was told during Falcon 10 training that they were certified single pilot in France.
So if you have a French license and the aircraft has French registration you could fly it single pilot.
What a personal hot rod that would be!

My post was a little tongue in cheek about the resurrection of a 12 year old thread...

We traded our 10 in seven years ago to WestStar. They are still operating it. It’s a really nice one. But I don’t ever want to fly it again. They are cool for about 1.5 hours, then they get small pretty quickly. We used to take ours Coast to Coast on day trips. Not fun.
Also, someplace like weststar is the perfect owner of them now. The DOCs became unbelievable. For a while around 2010 there were several parts that were unavailable until someone decided to part out an airframe. Slats were one such item. I’m told we have lower DOCs on our 2000LX now than we had on our 10 when we sold it.

Yes, it was a thread revival...

I have a couple hundred in the “executive mailing tube”. Nice plane, but obsolete today, especially due to support costs.
