My question is with the 250 pic requirement. and the clause that has to do with PIC under supervision. What does that exactly mean? How do you act as PIC without a type-rating even if you are under-supervision?
It did say under SIC 121/135 ops I think, so I am guessing your CA is always supervising you????
I think that part is just a way for a 121/135 FO to get the PIC CREDIT. So you are getting PIC credit even though you are not typed, in a way it is like how you could long actual time (when you where in the clouds) when you were getting your instrument rating. Because you are benefiting off your CFII's certificate, so this would kind of be you getting the credit off your CA's ATP? I dunno, that is just want it seems like to me.
I hate REGS.... the way they are written is too hard to understand. Pretty much gibberish.
