Even if you don't have a plane or you have a 4 place plane register as a
co-pilot. I didn't have a co-pilot so one was assigned to me. It was
great
working with the guys I flew with, we really developed some good CRM.
The
only requirement as PIC is that you are Instrument Rated. I don't think
the
co-pilot has to be IR.


You figure they'll let a PP with 110 hours anywhere near an airplane,
even as co-pilot? I live in Atlanta and would be able to go this
weekend, but there's probably a flood of guys with more hours than me...


Yes, my co-pilot worked the radios, followed our progress on charts, looked
for traffic, he talked to me about family, politics, sports and other stuff
to make the trip more pleasant and keep us both alert. He also was good to
remind me that we have to start thinking about descents, altitudes and other
stuff that is helpful.

You don't have to be a 2500 hour pilot for any of that. It doesn't hurt to
ask.

They may not be flying this weekend so they can get better organized. See
my other post.
