The Sole Man PIC is usable for FAA ratings, and some employers might also credit it towards their PIC requirements (I think the FAA does for jobs that require pilot experience).
But many or most civilian employers will not count it towards their min requirements, as long as you can easily keep the totals separate it's fine. They won't mind that you logged it.
So I started doing that in my electronic logbook but my paper logbook I put it under PIC should I go back and cross off that time and make a separate column for Sole Man? In a nutshell my electrician I separated both but paper they are not separated
