Let me start by saying that all I did was ask a few questions. Must have hit a nerve. I would say that there are probably several training scenarios where this would come into play. Training in actual aircraft with PIC, test flight with check airman , etc... Truth is, I don't really know. That is why I asked smart..s Maybe I should have been more clear. How will you show 1500 hours for 61.159 (a)? How will you show 500 x-c for 61.159(a)(1)? How will you show 100 night for 61.159(a)(2)? How will you show 75 hours instrument for 61.159(a)(3)? How will you show 250 hours as SIC performing the duties of PIC?

These are all in the same section. Most people would use their logbooks to prove these hours. Are you counting every hour as SIC as performing duties of PIC? Are you having CA sign logbook saying he let you pretend to be PIC? If not what is the difference in how you are logging them.I know its been done before. I think these are legitimate questions. We did it for awhile and then stopped because the FSDO had a change of heart. So enlighten all the unwashed masses. Everything in that section has to be logged for your 8710. How do you get your logbook to match what you are putting on your 8710?
