All,

Just a general question here which is targeted toward low-time applicants for entry-level jobs:

When filling out applications or discussing your logged times, for multi-engine are you claiming all of the training time + PIC or just your multi-engine PIC time?

So, if you spent 15 hours earning your multi, and you have 2-3 hours multi-PIC, are you quoting them together or just the PIC?

Does the question make sense?
 
If it’s via Airlineapps it is pretty straightforward. Total time is total time.

I would follow the format specified in the “job/flight time requirements” when formatting flight time for a resume to make it clear and easy for a recruiter or someone in HR to reference.

If you have a specific job in mind feel free to text me the deets and I’ll give you my unsolicited and uneducated guess.
 
List total time, but leave off the tenths of an hour. We’ve all done it, but .3 doesn’t help round up.

Unless it specifically says PIC, such as airline apps. Then dual received doesn’t count as PIC.
 
Apologies for piggybacking, but I did five hours of dual to re-up my BFR credentials. Would that be PIC time, or is it just dual since my BFR wasn't up to date. CFI wasn't sure either.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I'm not ready to start applying for anything yet but I've got a decent chunk of dual received in an airplane that wasn't your typical light twin. The experience and education were invaluable, and everything is accurately documented. It just might look like a lot more dual-received than normal, or, viewed another way, a big delta between what I have for MPIC vs. Multi-dual received. Started thinking about what that might look like to a resume' reviewer.

Having time in the unique airplane maybe a good ice breaker. However, if you have hundreds of hours of dual received in the Seminole, then that might raise an eyebrow.

Depending on where you're looking, that dual received would be considered as SIC time, which is still valid flight time.
 
I read your question; it’s a bit confusing. Keep it simple. Multi time is time logged in a multi aircraft regardless of PIC or SIC.

If you want someone to review your resume, shoot me an email (PM for email address). I have looked at hundreds of resumes and have also paid a company to review and cirque my own.
 
If you're putting multi, dual received on your resume, then you're going way too granular and it won't get read. Pilot Credentials doesn't have a dual received column, so it will just go into the regonkulator as SIC. AirlineApps has a dual received column, but I don't theink anybody will be THAT discriminating with your app BEFORE the interview invite. An interviewer might notice it, but that is a good thing to get them talking about fun flying adventures instead of silly WWYD dilemmas.

There are a few corporate HR application portals I can remember that asked for very specific times. All you can do there is type in what they actually want and see what happens.
