Why would they care? A King Air 200 is a single pilot airplane.

Because if there were any type of accident and the insurance company
thought that perhaps this guy was the guy flying they wouldn't pay. My
insurance company says the plane must be "piloted" by named insureds.
I don't think the FAA's PIC rules mean **** to the insurance company,
they want to know who's hand is on the controls. Plus, if the left
seater is a CFI they could even claim he was giving instruction to a
non-named pilot, which their policy also does not cover. Remember that
the rules of the insurance world are different from the FAA.


They can CLAIM anything; proving it is another matter,

They can CLAIM what you admit to in court (unless you plan to lie and
say you didn't touch the controls).

especially when the
rules state otherwise.

My ins. rules say only the insured can touch the controls. Does your
policy say something different???
