A: Here are the guidelines:
PIC (Pilot In Command) = Any time you signed for the plane as aircraft commander or solo including all instructor time.
SIC (Second In Command) = Any time you acted as second in command and/or didn't sign for the plane.
*This DOES include dual/student time.
Instructor = Only the time you logged as an instructor, regardless of the time being reported in PIC.
Instructor time is PIC time. It belongs in both columns.
Nice job reading the fine print. AA can of course define it any way they like, even in direct contradiction to the norms. Maybe it's a reading comprehension test...better go check my app now.
