"The FAA has determined that the SIC pilots that participate in Key Lime's FO program cannot log the flight time. The First Officer program offered by Key Lime Air is not valid for the logging flight time. Key Lime Air has claimed the time is loggable. Key Lime Air has claimed the First Officer Program includes legally loggable SIC time."
Any Amflight guys hear anything new on logging PFT time? How would KeyLime's program vary from EagleJet?
I believe the Amflight ops specs allow for an F/O as long as the person has gone through company 135 training. This time has traditionally been legal to log with the FAA's blessing.
Before I answer, I want to see the documentation where the FAA states that KeyLime's SIC program is no good. Or at least give me a link to the document so I can peruse it myself.
To add another note: Being the largest Part 135 operator in the country, having a huge target on our backs, if the FO program was no good then the FAA would be coming down on us hard.
