All PIC goes into the same collumn of the logbook
The issue I had with it (and others, I suppose) is Part 121 specifically spells out who may and may not log PIC time. If you were a CAE type-rating wonder in the CRJ and were hired at Air Wisconsin, and hit the line 2 months after completing your training, you
may not log the time you are Pilot Flying as PIC under the sole manipulator clause.
Guess I just assumed 135, being a certificated air carrier and all, worked the exact same way...and that assumption has since been proven wrong. More info found in
