I think some of you were arguing about a very broad topic and sometimes about slightly different scenarios. The only thing I wonder about is 91 legs in a 135 operation. Case in point-

An Airnet SIC in the Baron will reposition aircraft, part 91. With no one else in the airplane, they better be logging PIC. So how different is a 91 leg in a King Air 200? You don't have to know every single darn system in the airplane!! Just be honest in the interview. You log PIC the first time you fly a light single after Private. Why not in a King Air?

If you have 10 hours in the right seat of the King Air 200 and 2 hours in the left seat, PIC, you should know the basics: what kind of engines, shaft horse power, temp and torque limits, speeds, how the gear and flaps work, how to close and check the door. Easy stuff.

But if you have 500 hours in the right seat and 50 PIC, you'd better have intimate knowledge of the airplane. If you don't, that time won't be taken seriously. There's a delicate balance between good quality SIC time and worthless, just sitting there time.
