I loved and hated the time I was doing 135. Great experience, loved the guys I worked with, from the other pilots, to the couriers, to all the staff at the many FBO's we visited. The down-side was when I went from nightly regular flying to stand-by and/or passenger trips........I really hate pax trips. My general rule of thumb was to double most guestimates on how long we'd be on the ground, and it usually worked out.

Yes, you are correct. I have been studying a lot lately, and SIC time can only be logged if the aircraft is certificated for two-pilot operation. That I'm sure of.
I also suspect, but am not sure, that to log the TT in the program being discussed, the pilot in the left seat would have to be an MEI, with the guy sitting in the right seat logging the time as dual given. If the guy in the left seat were not an MEI, the guy in the right seat would be a passenger and the time not worth squat.

Basically what's hanging you guys up is that Airnet, as well as some other 135's, have in their Operation Specifications, that in these single-pilot aircraft, that you can 2-crew them legally, with a SIC. This is legally, and is fully recognized by the controlling FSDO, that the SIC can log this time. I would log it as Total Time only, not SIC, but that's just me. Ops Spec's rule the 135 world, and they are all individually approved for each company's needs and environment.

This is not instructing so you will not log any dual time. Just like Ewfflyer said it is approved through the FAA and in our Ops Specs. You can put an SIC in a Baron and they can log it as total time since they get a 135 letter in a Baron and are occupying (sp) a pilot station. This will only work if you fly in a Airnet Baron and have a 135 letter for that aircraft as it is company specific. An SIC will take the same checkride as a qualified PIC.
