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? 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. This represents no change from the old rules. ========= End Snip ========== Best Regards, Todd |
