§61.55 Second-in-command qualifications.
(a) A person may serve as a second-in-command of an aircraft type certificated for more than one required pilot flight crewmember or in operations requiring a second-in-command pilot flight crewmember only if that person holds:

(1) At least a private pilot certificate with the appropriate category and class rating; and

(2) An instrument rating or privilege that applies to the aircraft being flown if the flight is under IFR; and

(3) At least a pilot type rating for the aircraft being flown unless the flight will be conducted as domestic flight operations within the United States airspace.

A Lear is a 2-pilot airplane, so you can't serve as a second in command without a multiengine rating, since that would be the "class".

oh well just a thought, Will be a fun ride though :)
 
If the PIC is a multi instructor, he could sign your logbook as a lesson. But more important, a Lear can be a fun ride. A very fun ride. Enjoy.
 
as it might have been already stated instrument rating as no lear usually cruses below 17999

And why the heck not??? Taking off on a cold day in a light 25 is the closest I was ever going to get to flying a fighter.
 
I remember my first time in a jet. Damn stuff happened so fast I didn't know what hit me.
Of course after a bit of practice it was not hard and anyone can get the hang of it.
But that first takeoff was a true kick in the pants.

Gear, flaps, then major power reduction to not blow through 200 kts. Add a DP and it's crazy.

It's funny. You'd think knowing that the entire point of airplanes is to go somewhere faster in each bigger step up, that would prep you to know stuff is going to happen hella fast when you do, but it's still always a a surprise. Haha.

Even just going from spinning the snot out of Skyhawks back in the day to doing a venerable old Citabria ride, that was my first surprise in that airplane. Ha. Oh heck, of course it spins faster! It's made to do that. That was quick. Haha.
 
If,... you were to actually fly the plane on TO, you'll be surprised on how fast you can blow through speeds and altitudes, and how smooth and vibration free the ride is.
 
ryan fl18 or less so 17999 and a lear be using tons of fuel down there.
 
I haven't been in a Lear in 3, maybe 4, decades.
Are they still designed for pilots who are 5' tall, 90 lbs with severe scoliosis either to the left or right?

Nothing against the airplane.
It's just that ... um ... you are not allowed to fly one in the US anymore. Banned for numerous reasons. You can pick up a used one for about as much as a used 182 would go. :)
