Ben,
No the FAA does not require any certification because we are not operating the aircraft for the purpose of air navigation. We do have a company mandated 18 hour training course per aircraft type before they will let you be "PIC". The instructor looked at me and skipped the airport diagrams and radio phraseology because I already have my Pilots license.

Bob,
That would be the person in the left seat (PILS) at the tiller.... Rudders do not work for steering the J-41 at low speed.

She flies a Maule with a big assed engine.
