Investigate the differences between “FAA Approved” and “FAA Accepted.” One carries regulatory weight. The other is “ok, that’s nice.”
There’s more to this pending change. OpSpecs have to be issued and it’s not retroactive.
If the AP is used, 1000 hrs PC12 SIC = 0.0 hrs.

Are you saying that all right seat pilots at the 135 Caravan and PC-12 operators out there can only log total time, not SIC time, when the autopilot is on?
This sounds a bit absurd to me. But I suppose what difference does it make, SIC time vs. just total time. Most folks at those operations are just there to build up to 1200/1500 hours of total time and move on.
