So do you think then it is ok to not only log PIC time when you sign the release form but also if you are assigned as the FO for the leg/day for the time you are manipulating the controls?

What I was implying before is that these guys feel that when we are not flying a sortie for a customer whose contracts stipulates two pilots then the King Air reverts back to a single piloted aircraft as it was type certificated that way. And therefore, only one pilot can legally log the PIC time. The contradictory opinion of some at the office is that because there are two type rated captains (we fly the king airs over 12,500 lbs often) that both can log the PIC time whether or not the mission has a requirement for two pilots.

Thoughts? and thank you for clarification. I have spent the majority of my time flying military hardware and am delving into the FAR/AIM slowly.
