A couple of questions about IPC

I think I'm clear now, but wanted to clarify a point from the last post

- Pilot not flying is acting PIC (required because the pilot flying is
not IMC current) and so logs PIC

Was meant to be posted as a question to the Chief Counsel and not as a
statement of understanding, right?

Yes, this is the question I'm trying to get clear on myself.


Acting PIC (not flying) may NOT log PIC, based on what I'm hearing and
reading in other searches... From the following link
(http://www.propilot.com/doc/logging2.html) I snipped a section
regarding this specific situation...

========= Begin Snip ==========
A non-instrument-rated private pilot (but rated in the aircraft
category and class) flies with another private pilot who is instrument
rated, on an IFR flight plan in IMC conditions. The non-IFR pilot
manipulates the flight controls for the entire flight. The IFR pilot
acts as PIC, and is required to be the PIC since he/she is the only
pilot appropriately rated to act as PIC under IFR, but logs no flight
time. Why?
The instrument-rated pilot did not manipulate the flight controls and
is not acting as PIC of an aircraft requiring more than one pilot.

The non-IFR pilot may log PIC time for the entire flight since he/she
was the sole manipulator of the flight controlsof an aircraft for whih
he/she is rated. See legal opinion # 5 for details.

This legal opinion is written to answer a question involving a CFII as
the PIC, but the opinion later states "The other pilot must be the PIC,
...", and does not impose a requirement to hold an instructor
certificate.

Also, see legal opinion # 6 , under "TAB AERO Question # 2" which
further clarifies the fact that a non-rated pilot can manipulate the
controls under IFR.

How do you find opinion #5 and #6? When I go to the FAA web site,
I can search by keyword, and the results don't provide the opinion
number.

Thanks for digging this up, Todd. I've saved it off, and will read
the complete article when I get a few minutes.


This represents no change from the old rules.
========= End Snip ==========

Best Regards,
Todd
