Speaking with someone else I trust as reputable, they say my problem is because I have only been recording instrument times for time I have actually been flying in the left seat and not while I've been acting as SIC. 61.51 is not pretty clear and I've done some searching and there are plenty of varying opinions on this. Some say because the aircraft requires a SIC they are still "operating the aircraft" while others dispute that. Any NetJet people out there know NetJets view on this?
