There were flights in the P-3C when I was the a/c but not sitting in either seat. Does this come into play when logging PIC or SIC time? Sorry for the confusion.
I don't know if you figured it out, but here goes
If you were the A/C and flew a 10.0 with three pilots in your Navy logbook you would split that into thirds:
FPT SPT SCT A/C
3.3 3.3 3.3 9.9
For the airlines you would log the whole 9.9 hours as:
PIC SIC
9.9 0
I did this for my SWA interview and they said this was the proper way to do it. SWA also gives you a .3 conversion factor for each logbook entry you have.
