SIC in C90

Ok so this has been thrown around pretty good but the bottom line is Only log the legs which you are the one flying. I am pretty sure you don't need a type rating in the C90 all the way up to the B100. (maybe I am wrong, someone correct if need be please.) I have been watching this thread because I am in the same boat. Soon will be in the right seat in a B100 when flying Government officals. So I figure I will only log legs I fly.

The 300 and 350 are the only King Airs that require a type. Multi-Engine land for all other models.
 
sorry bro.
Huh? Not sure if that's meant to be a dig or not.

I'm there because people in the company want me there.
I was teasing...completely. I used to ride on the 135 flights and then fly the 91 legs myself. It was by "Royal Decree" all this talk about the law and stuff got me going.

Ahh, no problem. I see.

Just another mis-understood post on the internet. A first, I'm sure. :sarcasm:

Curious how you would log this time.

You are hired as an SIC in a King Air C90 (single pilot airplane.) Obviously you're not required by FARs to be there. However, you are required to be in that aircraft by state laws/regulations. How would you log that time which you are not PF, or would you log it at all?
Im guessing some of the other pilots are CFIs as well. Maybe as you start on some legs they could give you instruction and log dual. After that I would log only the legs, typically the empty ones, that you are sole manipulator. That whole required by the state thing just doesnt matter. Hows Curry?
 
The only thing that matters in terms of logging is what's written in the FARs. State law has no bearing on what the FARs allow to be logged. Log what you want, but be prepared to argue your case on a future interview.

As it pertains to any certificate or rating, yes. But I log all kinds of things, training included, that is either not required by the FARs or not given by a CFI. I log glider tows flown. I log fuel consumption. I probably log much more than I need to for dual given, but I have a bad memory. I log when someone pukes in the aircraft (with a smiley face).

I've logged right seat (front seat for me typically) time that technically I can't, I just don't put anything for TT, and don't add it up. Mostly because it was a unique airplane and in 50 years when I look back, I want to remember that I flew whatever it was and where and when. Then again, I'm not interviewing for a flying job.
 
Some operators just want to know your experience in type. They don't care if you are required or not. You could keep this separate from your official FAA logbook by making a new column, using an electronic logbook, or a separate logbook all together to avoid any problems.

That's what the guy flying this has been doing... If he were to look for a C90 job elsewhere they'd probably not care how he logged it anyway. At least not in his location.
 
As I recall under 135 without an autopilot the SIC is required....

Actually an SIC is required for all 135 IFR passenger operation.

but.. you can/may get an exemption from that rule if you have an autopilot...

Same thing as you said, but worded slightly different.

Oh no....thanks for the clarification. That means that some 135 Operators may require two pilots, while those with an exemption (for the autopilot) may only require one. An important distinction....well done:)

Even the operators that have an exemption to use an autopilot in lieu of an SIC are not REQUIRED to use the exemption. In other words, they are ALLOWED to use an autopilot in place of the SIC, but they do not have to do so. If they decide to put an SIC on board, he can log the time as a required crewmember (even if the autopilot is on!).
