That explains WHY the pilot was required by the FAA to have another CE500 certification co-pilot; he wasn’t typed in the 550. Remember, you are attempting to play in a world I worked in for nearly THIRTY YEARS. BTW…both the 500 and 550 are GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT; the 500/501 and the 550/551 are IDENTICAL aircraft.

Good you see you now agree with everyone that a qualified second pilot was required for this pilot and this plane.
Your reading comprehension needs some work.
