Based on this, can I, as an ATP, SIC type-rated CRJ pilot, log as PIC all the legs I have flown from the left seat. I am the "sole manipulator" of the flight controls true, but as the "sole manipulator", am I also "acting as pilot in command"?
OK. I have to ask. If you are SIC rated on the RJ, how are you flying in the left seat.
I agree with the above. They aren't concerned with "logable" PIC, they want "acting" PIC time. Sole manipulator is not acting PIC. The only acting PIC is the person "signing" for the airplane....ie the Captain. Keep in mind that there is no shortage of applicants with thousands of hours of "acting" PIC time.
