They placed the or where they did for a reason.
(f) Logging second-in-command flight time. A
person may log second-in-command time only for that
flight time during which that person:
(1) Is qualified in accordance with the second-in-command requirements of
§ 61.55, and occupies a
crewmember station in an
aircraft that requires more than one pilot by the
aircraft's type certificate;
(2) Holds the appropriate category, class, and
instrument rating (if an
instrument rating is required for the flight) for the
aircraft being flown, and more than one pilot is required under the type certification of the
aircraft or the regulations under which the flight is being conducted; or
(3) Serves as
second in command in operations conducted in accordance with
§ 135.99(c) of this chapter when a second pilot is not required under the type certification of the
aircraft or the regulations under which the flight is being conducted, provided the requirements in § 61.159(c) are satisfied.
Apply that same logic to 61.3 (a) (1), for example. There are semi-colons after every item, and there’s an “or” after the next-to-last one. So exact same setup as 61.51 (f). It’s clear the “or” is implied after every item. Why would 61.51 (f) be any different? Check it out:
a)
Required pilot certificate for operating a civil aircraft of the United States. No person may serve as a required pilot flight crewmember of a civil aircraft of the United States, unless that person:
(1) Has in the person’s physical possession or readily accessible in the aircraft when exercising the privileges of that pilot certificate or authorization—
(i) A pilot certificate issued under this part and in accordance with
§61.19;
(ii) A special purpose pilot authorization issued under
§61.77;
(iii) A temporary certificate issued under
§61.17;
(iv) A document conveying temporary authority to exercise certificate privileges issued by the Airmen Certification Branch under
§61.29(e);
(v) When engaged in a flight operation within the United States for a part 119 certificate holder authorized to conduct operations under part 121 or 135 of this chapter, a temporary document provided by that certificate holder under an approved certificate verification plan;
(vi) When engaged in a flight operation within the United States for a fractional ownership program manager authorized to conduct operations under part 91, subpart K, of this chapter, a temporary document provided by that program manager under an approved certificate verification plan; or
(vii) When operating an aircraft within a foreign country, a pilot license issued by that country may be used.
