When you are SIC typed in the a/c and you ask the ca for permission to log PIC...does he/she sign? And what does he/she log?
Is it like flight instructors who still get PIC even if there student is acting as PIC? Thanks!
SIC types are not type ratings, ie,
rated in the aircraft. You may not log part 61.51(e) PIC time. There is no provision in part 1 for an second-in-command type rating. There is no PTS for a "second-in-command type rating" and no provision in part 61.63 for one.
Opps I found it. Part 61.55. Hmmm. Good question. Ok, I've read the regulation completely. I don't think, but I couldn't find it expressively said in the reg, that a second-in-command type rating as defined in part 61.55 meets the requirements of "rated" as used in part 61.51(e). Part 61.55 does not apply to operations under subpart K of part 91, part 121, part 125, or part 135. And no pratical test is requried for a "SIC Privileges Only" pilot type rating. I would bet that the FAA would not recognize it as being rated in the aircraft for anything that allows "PIC" flight time. I will do some more research.
