Logging again
A Private Pilot Airplane Single Engine Land takes training in a
Seaplane. He does not have a Seaplane rating. Can he log the training time he receives before he obtains his rating as PIC? |

Is this a trick question? (Is this related to IFR?) You need to phrase your question more clearly. There are two ways to parse that sentence, and the yes/no answer is different depending on how you intend us to interpret the question. The first possibility is as Bob already said, obviously yes, you can log the instruction as dual received prior to obtaining the rating to act as PIC. The second possibility, also obvious from 61.51(e), is no, you cannot log the instruction time as PIC because you're not rated for the airplane. |

Sorry to be unclear. The question is, can a private rated pilot single
engine land log pre-seaplane checkride training time as PIC? Yes he logs it as dual instruction received, but can he log it as PIC by virtue of manipulating the controls? 61.51 Perhaps a Craig Prouse wrote in message ...

Sole manipulator of an aircraft for which he is rated (61.51e)...if his
ticket says "Single Engine - Land" he is not rated for seaplanes and cannot log the time as PIC. Bob Gardner "Doug" wrote in message om... Sorry to be unclear.

Bob, what about any solo practice time that he is signed-off to fly prior to the practical test? Seems to me that this would be treated as any student pilot solo time and be logged as PIC. I don't think that the original poster specified that it was dual instruction as opposed to solo instruction. Bob Moore |

I don't want to extrapolate my own seaplane training to the whole wide
world, but no solo time is required and I didn't get any. Considering how the insurance industry has come down on water operations generally, I wonder if any float-plane school allows students to solo, and if any owner-student has a policy permitting flight before the rating is earned.

He can log PIC time any time he solos the seaplane. |
