Narrative:
While shooting VOR 24 to pou, my flying partner (the PIC) misread the approach chart and mistakenly put in the wrong altitude in the altitude alerter. I flew down to it and was advised of a low altitude alert from pou tower. At the time we were in VMC and no other conflict was noted. One problem the corporate world has, is that there is only 1 set of plates for the aircraft so as a PF, total reliance is on the other guy.
