stamper asked:
A few months back I flew in a Learjet 35A for 6 hours (4 hour flight, landed got fuel and was back up in air) I was in the co-pilot seat the whole time while the co-pilot was in back enjoying the Learjet luxuries (watching a movie) and taking naps, my uncle is a captain for a big airline company and knew the captain who was flying the plane… Ever since then I been hooked on flying , my question is did the co-pilot break FAA regulations by basically never being in the co-pilot seat??? or does FAA regulations state that the co-pilot only has to be on board and not in the cockpit.
