CAE and Sun Air Jets have created a pilot development program (PDP) that will allow young pilots to gain flight experience in second-in-command (SIC) roles on Beechcraft King Air 350s operated by Sun Air. 

While two pilots are not required for the King Air 350, the FAA allows charter operators to adopt a PDP that enables SICs to legally log flight time in single-pilot aircraft. The operator must seek FAA issuance of OpsSpec A062 to use the PDP for SIC logging.
