So that means as a copilot you can't log any of the time? Also I looked up my endorsement 61.55(B) it states that I am a qualified SIC of the 350. I have done all that 61.55B requires through a ground school and flight. I will have to bring this to the cheif pilots attention. I beleive I will now log it as SIC time. Thanks for the help Rickair!
P.S. should I go back and change all the dual given to SIC?
Unless the PIC has been signing your logbook each time you record dual given on a flight, I don't think the FAA considers instruction to have taken place (remember, it is required that you document all instruction given and recieved with the instructor's signature and cert #). Since insurance requires an SIC I would say that you are a required crew member and can log it as SIC and all your time in the 350 should be logged as SIC unless you were actually recieving instruction in the airplane.
