Part 91 Corporate Ops
I'm relatively new to the Part 91 corporate world and am curious to find out how other part 91 companies handle things like pilot currency, etc. We're on track to only fly 200 hours or so per year, and sometimes that can put us pretty close to putting our recency of experience in jeopardy. We also only go through recurrent training once a year.
I'm just curious what other companies are doing out there.

We fly two types, recurrent is scheduled, on alternating types, each 9 months--it's plenty. Sometimes some go out of landing currency, we go shoot touch and goes or arrange sim time, usually touch and goes during a day wait or prior to departing on a deadhead leg.
We use FOS to track it all.

We require captains to maintain 3 full stop landings every 45 days in each type they fly. If necessary, an additional takeoff/landing is added to a ferry leg. We go to school every 6 months for a full PIC recurrent.

We go through recurrent twice a year, alternating between aircraft types. We also make sure to get 6 takeoffs and 6 landings in the sim with night visuals so we can meet the alternate night currency requirements of 61.57.

Thats a good article, and thanks for pointing me in that direction. I've read 61.57(e) and the exceptions appear to only apply to aircraft requiring a type rating and two pilots. We always fly with two pilots, but the B200 doesn't require a type rating nor two crew members. I suppose I should have given more details in my original post.
