It appears that the time must still be logged as SIC and remarks made that it was acting as PIC in comment section. However, I have never seen anyone try to follow these procedures. Has any PIC here ever had an SIC ask for this endorsement? If so, were you willing to sign it or were you concerned about liabilty?
