Yup, all King Air models are single-pilot cert'd If it's a 200 series (like the one in question here) and below, you just need your commercial endorsement to fly for dough. If it's a 300 series you would need a type-rating.

This may have been company policy not FAA. Is this Part 135?

This.

Also an insurance requirement for charter ops in many cases.

"Critical Engine" applies to jets??

That's exactly the thread I was thinking of.... there was another KA crash like it also that I remembered, too, into a Flight Safety building..
