single pilot ops in europe

[Bernhard D Rohrer]

Hi folks

I was wondering about the feasability of small corporate aircraft and
whether single pilot ops are a good idea for let's say a 6-seater (2+4)
in Europe's skies. typical ops like dublin - stockholm or london - milano.

what do ye think?

I hasten to add that I am new to all this and don't have a clue

cheers

Bernhard,

commercial single-pilot IFR ops are not allowed in many (all?) European
countries.

Hi Thomas

thanks for that. Do corporate owned aircraft fall under that? or just if
you carry paying passengers?

thanks

I've never heard of corporate operations in the U.S. or Europe flying
jets single pilot. The extra insurance for single pilot jet operations
is usually more than the second officer's salery.

Not sure, but I think you're right - corporate ops allow single pilot
ops.

I thought it was quite common from the Citation SP onwards?

I wasn't thinking jets, more like King airs or similar
