You need to provide more information. What kind of airplane? What is the
seat configuration (# pax)? IFR or VFR operations? What does your company
operations specification require?

Here is the bottom line... If your OPSPEC or the AFM or Part 135 requires a
second pilot you can log SIC. You can only log approaches, landings, and
instrument time where you have your hands on the controls. IF, AND ONLY IF,
one of the above requires a SIC, and you are the designated Captain, you can
log PIC no matter what seat you are in or if you touch the controls. As
above, to log approaches, landings or instrument time you must be operating
the controls.

The reference is contained in Part 135 and 61.

One additional question... Who does your 135 training and checkrides? The
appear to be lacking.

I'm a Part 135 pilot and we're starting to get a lot of missions that
are two pilot crews. These are in airplanes that don't require a SIC
as the AutoPilots work, we're not flying over 8 hours and it's not
required by the Type certificate.

I'm a Captain in all the planes but move to the right seat often. When
I'm in the right seat what can I log? From my reading of the FAR's I
can only log Total Time. Is that correct? I can't log PIC as I'm not
the PIC nor sole manipulator of the controls. Can I log landings,
Instrument, X/C, etc..?

If you have a reference I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the help.
