Single pilot jets take to the air

Flying Magazine’s website features a story about single pilot jet aircraft and their regulation. The FAA has permitted jets to fly with single pilots since 1977, but there are still issues concerning safety and insurance that remain.

The story also covers the history and decisions the FAA made over time when writing the regulations for single pilot jets. The FAA concluded that the pilot is the crucial factor in the safety of a plane. While bigger transport jets still require two pilots, and experienced pilot can fly a smaller jet alone.
