If you could, I would definitely try to ride along a time or two just to get an idea of what it is like to fly a corporate jet.

Another thing to think about, if you are going to be a required crewmember, you will need to have three takeoffs and landings as well as "become familiar with" the stuff in the regs proir to carrying passengers.

When I said you should think twice, I am just saying that if this guy NEEDS you, especially if he is going to NEED you once a week, or even two, he NEEDS to be paying you. I am sorry but that is the bottom line. Look at it this way, being a flight instructor is a great way to build valuable time, but would you do that for free a day every other week? Even being a captain on a Gulfstream or 747 is great experience, but I don't see anyone doing that for free. I am really not trying to bust your chops, just think about it.
