Default Single Pilot Ops

Hi folks … I'm trying to identify Part 135 operators who might be operating aircraft in a single pilot configuration for a safety project I'm working on.

While I guess the easy answer is "anyone flying a 'piston or turbo prop'" I thought perhaps there might be a better idea.

Then of course I'm curious if anyone flies any small jets single-pilot.

Answers and idea are appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob Mark

I cant think of any mainstream 135 single pilot jet operators off the top of my head.

But as far as single pilot ops: Ameriflight, Key Lime Air, Martinaire, Baron Aviation, West Air, Corportate Air, Wiggins airways.

I hope your project isn't a result of the NTSB/FAA/politicians sprewing more garbage. I have never flown a jet single-pilot but have plenty of turbo-prop and recip single-pilot time without ever scratching the paint.

There is probably alot more that could do single pilot but dont. Some operators that fly king air's can do it but don't for customer satisfaction. They only have to fly single pilot if the auto pilot is inop or a few other scenarios.

I think Quest actually operates under Part 91, flying only their own "products".

Huh? You got that backwards. They are only required to have two pilots when the autopilot is inop, but normally choose to fly with two pilots for customer satisfaction.
