Yes, you can log it. DPJ requires an SIC even in single pilot aircraft per Ops Spec. My understanding is that CJ pilots get a PIC w/SIC required restriction during initial type training. You have the option to get that removed at the next refresher.

In addition, 10 or more pax seats (which I know doesn’t apply here) OPSPEC A015 ever applies,

Almost correct. The 135 regulations require an SIC for passenger carrying ops. In order to operate single-pilot you have to apply for and receive the OPSPEC A015 “Autopilot in lieu of SIC”. Even if the captain was single-pilot typed, the operation requires an SIC without the specific OPSPEC.

That’s the more correct reason regulation-wise. However, DPJ does no single pilot operations at all and if your type is tagged with SIC required, then you require one regardless of 91/135. You can’t even operate a SP certified jet on DPJ’s certificate for the owner on a 91 leg without a typed and current SIC. NetJets is the same way with their Phenoms. Unless you were SP before getting hired or get the restriction removed later on, their PICs have the SIC required restriction. In those cases, A015 doesn’t apply and the SIC can legally log the time.
I was more correcting the statement of what causes an operation to require an SIC. in other words, the 135 REGS require a SIC. All aircraft, all companies. OPSPEC A015 is the exception for aircraft with 9 passenger seats or less and a working autopilot in lieu of an SIC.

For example WUP which soon you will fall under. It states while the KA350 is certified as a single pilot aircraft. Two pilots are required for operations. I think like 4 pilots at WUP actually have the single pilot endorsement on their license. So by default all pilots flying can legally record anytime.

The way I understood it from the explanation during my phone screen is that you are positioned to and from your home airport on the first and last day you are ON. You will not be positioning on your day off.
