What is the minimum flight crew?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Answer: (A)

For this airplane, the minimum flight crew is one pilot. The DA20-C1 is certified for single-pilot operation, so it can be flown safely by a single person who is at the controls. The two seats and dual controls are there to enable training with an instructor and student, not to require a second pilot to operate the aircraft. A second person aboard would be a passenger or trainee, but the flight can be conducted with just one pilot onboard.
