Hi everyone,
I recently joined an emergency flight service as a volunteer, which involves transporting patients from one airport to another. The organization's rules require a PIC and a SIC for every flight. I read from the regs that a person can log PIC or SIC if he is "acting as pilot in command on an aircraft on which more than one pilot is required under the type certification or the regulations under which the flight is conducted".
Take an emergency service flight in a C182 for example. Since requiring 2 pilots is a regulation of the organization, is it possible for one pilot to log PIC and the other to log SIC, or for both pilots to log PIC? If it's not possible, can the pilot who is acting as SIC even log it as part of his total flight time?
