Hypothetical Situation

I bet all of the autopilots are going to form a union and strike because the human pilots don't let them log the time. That's just not fair!

How about this curve ball - When two rated private pilots go flying and the sole manipulator of flight goes under the hood the safety pilot gets to log PIC time since he is responsible for the safe outcome of the flight. So both are logging PIC time. Things that make you go hmmm....

One of those rare gifts from the FAA.


I wish you guys would quit talking about it so much, though, or the Feds might figure out that it's something that poor, starving, up-and-coming pilots can legally use to their advantage for a change.

The argument here is (again) over the difference between logbooks and who is responsible.

Remember there are 3 main reasons to log time:

1) To qualify for FAA ratings
2) To qualify for insurance
3) To qualify for a job (airline or other)

These 3 situations have 3 different "rule sets."

Say you are a MEI riding right seat of a king-air with no prior experience.

Should you log PIC for:
#1? Maybe
#2? Certainly
#3? You better not!
 
Logging time is also required for currency such as 3 T/O&Lnd every 90 days, 6 approaches in 6 mo, etc.

As for the King air time for an MEI. An airline interviewer might grill him/her on that time. For insurance purposes, log whatever you can. It may come in handy if you get a job and they require 100hrs PIC make and model

You don't need a logbook for that - you can use any piece of paper to prove it.
