FAR 1.1 does not and is not controlling for the PURPOSE of
logging flight time. Logging time is required only to show compliance with some regulation for some certificate or privilege. To that end, 61.51 is controlling. 61.51 requires manipulation of the controls to LOG PIC. Perhaps you should either cite the legal counsel's letter or re-read it.

Can you please state where it says that the PIC must be manipulating the controls? I've already shown you where it says he doesn't. It's your turn ;-) |

The PILOT IN COMMAND, responsible for the flight may not be
able to LOG the PIC TIME I.A.W. FAR 61.51 unless he meets the total rule. Manipulation of the controls is an essential part of the logging of PIC time EXCEPT for the two exceptions given to CFIs and to the extent of certain commercial operations requiring an ATP, in those cases an ATP who has been designated as PIC remains pilot in command up to the moment of the completion of the flight, and the departure of the passengers safely at the destination. 61.51 e) Logging pilot-in-command flight time. (1) A sport, recreational, private, or commercial pilot may log pilot-in-command time only for that flight time during which that person- (i) Is the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated or has privileges; "Mark Hansen" wrote in message ... | On 01/22/07 12:49, Jim Macklin wrote: | FAR 1.1 does not and is not controlling for the PURPOSE of | logging flight time.

Are you suggesting that for a pilot to log PIC time, according to 61.51 (e) (1), that the pilot must meet (i) (ii) and (iii) - All Three? I must assume then that you do not know what the word "or" means, so I'm going to bow out of this discussion.

Legal opinion citation: June 22, 1977 to Mr. Thomas Beane .... A pilot may log PIC time in accordance with Section 61.51(c)(2)(I) when he is not actually "flying the airplane", if the airplane is one on which more than one pilot is required under its type certificate or under the regulations under which the flight is conducted and he is acting as PIC. Also, a pilot, rated in category and class (e.g. airplane single-engine) could, as the pilot who "Has final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of the flight" log PIC time if another pilot, not appropriately rated, was actually manipulating the controls of the aircraft. .... ORIGINAL SIGNED BY EDWARD P. FABERMAN for NEIL R. EISNER Acting Assistant Chief Counsel Regulations & Enforcement Division Office of the Chief Counsel ============================= He actually notes three instance under which the non-manipulating pilot may log PIC time: 1. More than one pilot required under type certificate. 2. More than one pilot required under regulations (e.g. safety pilot) 3. Pilot manipulating not appropriately rated.

I wonder what regulation the lawyer bases #3 on. He says "rated", meaning has the appropriate ratings on his pilot certificate. I wonder if that is what he intended, or if he intended "qualified", which to me would include endorsements, currency and medical. Seems like the intent must have been if the pilot manipulating was not qualified as PIC, then the one not manipulating but acting as PIC could log PIC. But regardless, he said "rated", and we have to take it as written, if we accept the opinion as valid. Anyway, that opinion from the chief counsel's office is very interesting. |

It's an old opinion (1977), and I've not seen that question addressed recently. However, I don't have a problem accepting "rated" as differentiated from "qualified to act as PIC". I guess I would put that in the same category as being able to log PIC if a "pilot" with "no" ratings (e.g. your kid sister) were manipulating the controls.

![]() "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote in message ... It's an old opinion (1977), and I've not seen that question addressed recently. I don't think the opinions die of old age unless the underlying regulations change, and I would think it could be relied upon unless rescinded. I haven't gone back to the old part 61 and compared. However, I don't have a problem accepting "rated" as differentiated from "qualified to act as PIC". Nor do I. He said "rated", and as I said, we have to accept what he said. I was just speculating that the actual intent might have been different. I guess I would put that in the same category as being able to log PIC if a "pilot" with "no" ratings (e.g. your kid sister) were manipulating the controls. I agree, except that you are not allowed to log PIC during the time the kid sister is manipulating the controls, except perhaps under this legal opinion. |
