Not necessarily. The Registry is always a little out of date. The pilot could

Ok... I was just wondering, I kept seeing Todd Palin's float plane moored
in the Palin's backyard when she was doing all those interviews. *The
Registry shows him as SEL.

Could be that he's signed off solo. However, I read somewhere that the
FAA estimates that about 25% of all pilots in Alaska are not properly
rated. Alaska is a long way from DC and they're not always excited to
follow regulations that are brought to them from 5,000 miles away. In
fact there is a pretty big movement of people in Alaska who want to
leave the union because they feel that DC is far too out of touch with
the realities of living in remote Alaska.
