Sorry to beat a dead horse guys, but there is a company Im looking at going to work for that is utilizing Phenom aircraft, and they want two pilots on board. I have researched the threads on here, and still am unsure about it all.
The company is a fractional type outfit, and all flights are done under part 91 to the best of my knowledge. The CA's all hold single pilot type certs for the 100's and 300's. My question arises from one of the posts I saw under the sticky in this section regarding logging SIC time. In that sticky, he references a "FAA Flight Standardization Board report" for the Phenom aircraft. He stated that one who held a single pilot type cert, could elect to use a SIC if he so wanted..I have copied and pasted the portion I believe he is talking about, and wanted to get some better clarification on it, so here is it:
"4.1.1 EMB-505
The EMB-505 type rating is approved for pilots who satisfactorily complete the type rating practical test in the EMB‑505 as a single pilot. A pilot with the EMB-505 type rating may operate the aircraft as a single pilot, or operate as a pilot in command (PIC) with a second in command (SIC) on the aircraft.
A pilot with the EMB-505 type rating must have a SIC in the aircraft if it lacks an operative autopilot system, headset mounted microphone, or flight director. AFM Limitations require a SIC under these conditions. If this circumstance arises, the PIC must comply with the PIC proficiency check requirements specified by § 61.58, and use a SIC that meets the qualification and training requirements of § 61.55."
Only reason I am concerned is, if I go to work there, sure I will get great experience and get paid, but how would I ever build any more flight time towards upgrading, and/or better jobs down the road if I can't log any time...Thanks again for the info!
