Most of the logging posts tend to come from low time guys who don't know any better, or the guys who are finding any way they can to skim the edge of truth and check boxes on the application. You can log what you want, true, but to think that what's in your logbook could never cost you a job is naiive at best.
Well said. Thanks for saying it much better than I could have.
Many have had their heart broken by this profession. I am an advocate of trying to minimize that for some. Kind of my way of giving back I guess.
We have OpSpecs, as do almost everyone else, that allow for lower than standard departures if the have an SIC onboard. Since an SIC is required for lower than standard takeoffs then they can be required to be on onboard for other ops. This has been my best understanding of the regs to this point.
OK. Now that is interesting. Can you share the difference in minimums between single pilot and one with an SIC aboard?
Any chance you can share that part of your ops specs?
Thanks.
And as always, good luck to us all.
