Hi!

Virtually every aviation organization is going to count your dual time as dual, and your solo time as solo.

Neither are PIC, or SIC.

YOu can log it however you want, but you may have to change your times when you fill out applications (Usually they are VERY detailed about how you log the time...for the last one I did, they do NOT COUNT dual/solo, OR instructor time, so both the time you and your instructor logged would count for 0 on their application), or you may have to answer questions about your logbook.

It is not very nice when you are low time. I had some solo, and a LOT of dual, and, at first, it didn't help me at all.

Now, it is not so bad, since I've accumulated a bunch of SIC and some PIC time.

I am not interested in reiterating my previous post, however, you are incorrect in your post. A CFI need not have a medical certificate if the student whom they are training is qualified to act as PIC. While training for your IFR ticket, as long as you operate within VFR weather minimums, and you are appropriatley rated for the aircraft, your instructor does not even need a medical, therefore, you are incorrect. Same with commercial ticket. A student pilot whom is solo IS logging PIC. If they are not logging PIC, who the hell is pilot in command on the airplane if there is no other soul on board?

Hi!

U can log however you want.
If you want to be legal, you can log it the way the FAA allows.
If you want to make airline and other applications easy, the standard logging procedure is to ONLY log PIC if you are the one who is responsible for the aircraft, AND, you will have to subtract all your instructor time for some applications, as they don't count it as PIC/SIC.

When you are solo, as I was in my multiengine jet aircraft, I could not count it as PIC, on almost every app I have filled out (well over 100). I was flying solo under the supervison of an instructor (sometimes on the ground), so I only get solo credit, according to the application instructions.

I didn't like losing all my solo and dual time, but this is Earth, so it is not easy. I also lost a bunch of flying time that I flew with my dad, which also ****ed me off, but too bad for me.

I want to be legal, I am legal. I log time as the FAA permits. You are pre-disposed to give bad information. If you are flying with a CFI who does not have a medical, for purposes of furtherance of a certificate, and you are rated as PIC, you are logging PIC and logging it legally. If your instructor does not have a medical, they are legally not the PIC of the A/C, you are! Stop giving bad information because you have applied for way too many jobs.

May the force be with you cliff

What airline doesn't accept instructor time as PIC? That sounds like a load of crap to me. If the student pilot can't log PIC because it's a dual flight and the instructor can't log PIC then who is the PIC?

Hi!

It sounds like a load of crap to me too, but I am not the airline. LOTS of foreign airlines will ONLY accept PIC/SIC. Some will not even count GA PIC (in SE recips), either.

I was not happy with the US airlines, when my solo time didn't count. I'm like, I am the ONLY guy in my T-38, I'm flying single-ship, and I can't count this as PIC. To bad for me!

PS-In a GA training plane, NO ONE gets credit for any flight time, according to many foreign airline. It has to be in a paying situation, as in PIC in a King Air, or PIC/SIC for a regional, -135, etc (or any aircraft that requires two pilots).
