Time Sharing
Three questions on sharing/logging time with another pilot, specifically for 'simulated IFR flying'. I am basing my understanding of this off the link below from the FAA, and FAR/AIM info.
1) is the stated info correct?
2) a flight instructor at a local school stated it is correct, BUT only the 'manipulator of the controls' can log it as xc time as well, however I do not see anything backing that statement up?
3) assuming you have two very money motivated individuals that don't mind wearing foggles, you could use this method to accumulate a lot of hours at half the rental cost?
A link from the FAA states:
"Normally, a safety pilot, required by
regulations, who scans for traffic for a pilot
flying under simulated instrument
conditions is not pilot-in-command and
thus logs second-in-command. However,
if the two pilots agree that the safety pilot
is designated pilot-in-command, the safety
pilot/pilot-in-command may log PIC since
he is the pilot responsible for the
operation and safety of the aircraft. The
pilot flying is "sole manipulator of the
controls for which the pilot is rated"" and
may also log PIC. Therefore, two private
pilots may log PIC under these conditions."
