Citation 7 c650 single pilot?

[jgheggie]

Is the citation 7 a single pilot airplane? I tried looking up the specs but I can only find specs on the similar citation III, which is 2 pilot crew.

If the VII typically requires 2 crew, then can it be converted to single pilot ops?


MODS: feel free to remove once I get a serious answer. Thanks!

2 pilots. All the time.

VII is the same type as the III/VI

Not single pilot, and almost certainly never will be.

It's a fairly legit two pilot airplane

 

[jgheggie]

It makes sense. Thanks guys!

It stays up so the next guy that wonders this can just search and find the answer instead of starting a new thread.

Oh ok. That makes sense.

That's exactly what I was looking for in the specs. I didn't know you could look it up on the faa site. Learn something new every day!

Thanks

I heard Chuck Norris is single pilot typed on the C650, as well as the DC-8 and others. No flight engineer required.

And he don't use no stinkin' autopilot

It used to be called "Chuck" until he threatened a roundhouse; now people refer to it as "George"

Yup, unfortunately, most people are too lazy to search. I know I am.

If you could fly a jet solo wouldn't you be lonely on the overnights?

Nahhh you just have to tell them that you fly a jeeeettttttt and the girls will come flocking. Make sure you tell them you're a jet pilot.

Flying a Jeeeeet single pilot is awesome from a flying standpoint and generally sucks from a social standpoint. I don't let it stop me from taking advantage of the exploring. However the California science museum, mount Rushmore, titan missile silo and every breakfast, lunch and dinner would be infinitely better if the experience could be shared with another human!

If you don't know someone where you are the pleasantries between fbo and hotel staff grow old quickly and leave a lot to be desired.

Love my job, I've turned down multiple offers in bigger equipment and higher salary, but I'm definitely not interested in single pilot forever.
