Say if you worked in a a scheduled airline with aircraft ranging from Twin Otters/BE1900's to A320's and you flew the former two?
I would call the Twin Otter/1900 time as Part 135 and the A320 as Part 121 in that airline. I was told part 135 counts towards Part 121 mins?
Part 135 time is the flight time flying a US 14 CFR Part 135 aircraft under 14 CFR Part 135 regulations using an FAA airmans certificate.
Part 121 time is the flight time flying a US 14 CFR Part 121 aircraft under 14 CFR Part 121 regulations using an FAA airmans certificate.
Your foreign flight time is total time, PIC or SIC. There is not a conversion factor.
