Can you sit right seat / first officer and log PIC time? Im specifically talking about the future regulations regarding First Officers getting ATP's and Full Types.
Technically you are qualified as a Captain but the only thing is you are not signing for the airplane.
Second,
Would that time be eligible to application minimums (1000TPIC Multi) because it doesn't say you had to sign for an airplane, just logged time?
Thanks !
PIC is "Pilot in Command" i.e. who signs for the Jet! Who is ultimately in Charge.
The only time you can LOG PIC is when you are the Captain on Record.
Now if you are a Check Airman, you can LOG PIC from the right seat when you are giving IOE or a Check Ride.
Just because you are typed, does not mean you are PIC. If you are the Sole manipulator of Controls you can log the Stick Time as FP (First Pilot) but not PIC.
