Looking for thoughts from Falcon 10 drivers
Our company is looking at getting a Falcon 10, self insuring, and putting a low time pilot in as SIC. I have about 2800 hours mostly Kingair 200 and MU2, with only about 100 hours single enging jet. Our proposed SIC has wet ink on his multi ticket and is working on his instrument now. He has about 100 hours unlogged riding in the right seat of our 200 and is fairly handy and a quick study.
My question regards the workload of the Falcon 10 and how comfortable other PICs would be flying one with a SIC of this experience level.

Of all the Falcons I hear the 10 is the only one that you have to be a little carful with. I have heard of a company putting a low time person (they had multi-instrument and few hundred hours) but they had a rough go at it and it did not work out.

The obvious question: what happens if the PIC should become incapacitated?...in real nasty weather? My money's on a fully qualified SIC-always.

Without much, if any multi-engine jet time, your owner would be better served to have you be the SIC and hire a PIC with jet experiance.

Its all relative to time in the aircraft. You could pull a high timer out of a different type and they might have trouble. If the SIC is good with the radios and understands the princibles of flying. They'll be fine in a handful of flights.

If I were an aircraft owner I would not want a PIC that should be fine in a handful of flights and an sic that knows how to work the radios and understands the principles of flights. I would want a qualified PIC that has gained experiance flying high performance jet aircraft and an SIC that has enough experiance to back up the PIC when he makes a mistake and land the aircraft if he dies.
The guy asking the original question is not a high timer.
