Pilot certificate required?

If it takes one crew member to fly, then that crew member is required. Otherwise it will be an "optionally piloted" aircraft or a "remotely operated" aircraft. Thank you Sierra Whiskey. Makes sense. I think my wish for direct and clear FARs is naive. As an aside, it is also interesting that 61.31 appears to state that a pilot (certificated I suppose) only needs to be rated for a particular aircraft if the pilot is to fly another person or for compensation or hire in that aircraft. Please, let us leave that pandora's box unopened. |

You need to actually read what is written in the regulations. You are reading a clause that applies only in case of flight "Authorization in lieu of a type rating." |
