If you are typed in an RJ and flying as FO, you are the SIC, and should be logging it as such, even though under 61.51 you could log PIC, but you really are not.
So you fill out the application and enter your no-kidding, responsible for the airplane PIC time. Your paper logbook contains sole-manipulator, appropriately rated PIC time (e.g. a private pilot receiving instruction toward an instrument or commercial rating, or a commercial pilot receiving instruction toward an instructor rating). Is there a preferred method of documenting the difference? You can add a column to an electronic logbook, but should you add a corrective entry or something to the paper log?
