From reading the reg. many times, I cannot determine if my part 121 SIC time will satisfy the requirement of 61.159(a)(5). I'm about to be REFRAD, and I'm looking to go back to the airlines. Any thoughts?
In theory, yes regional FO time would fit the definition of SIC while acting as PIC under the supervision of the Part 1 PIC. What I wonder is, how in the hell are you going to document that as qualifying time to the DPE? Honor system I suppose. It's not like your airline kept track of who was PF for what leg.
