I assume it's not legal to take passengers on these flights.

A second pilot (Must Be Instrument Rated) can come along and help
fly as required crew. And a large bank account to cover their

So, you're talking about 5-6AMUs? *That is rather steep, but well
worth it for the experience and the hours IMO. *I think one will spend

What's the reasoning for the second pilot to have instrument rating?
Isn't having a second pilot a bonus with or without an IR?

How's th epilot going to sleep if he knows the second guy is going to
spear in while he's napping?

I'm thinking that the weather would be fairly predictable and the
rated pilot can plan his rests along the way.
