The FAA apparently either moved a ton of LOI's or somehow broke their website so I can't find the ones I read before.

Write the POI then, get a LOI and you can go down in history as the guy who put this debate to bed forever!

At the end of the day it's kind of an unimportant debate because the FAA only really cares about logging towards a rating and once you have 1500 hours you're not getting closer to another rating. The airlines would all certainly count it as PIC. It's kind of a fun thought exercise.

 

As that "thought exercise", a few weeks ago I sat down with a Flight Standards guy and had this very discussion. He agreed that the P135 PIC (on the dispatch/manifest, etc...) could log 'Acting PIC' while the SIC could log PIC as sole manipulator on P91 legs. A co-worker, and former ASI, disagreed with him. We went back to the office and did some more searching and my co-worker has now changed his opinion on what he found to agree with the Flight Standards guy. I didn't keep a copy of what he found which changed his mind, but I'll ask him about it. Just another datapoint in this on-going debate.

 

No question they can log it on part 135! I'm only talking about the 91 repo legs.

 

Agreed - that is what we are talking about.

The PIC logging PIC (acting PIC) and the SIC logging PIC (sole manipulator) on P91 legs.

 

Doesn't your 135 company manual say somewhere that you will operate all legs as 135 with the following exceptions? Ex. 135 O2 requirements. 135 communication requirements? Or 135 landing distance requirements? If so then all your legs are actually 135 and you can reduce them to 91 mins if it states that you can.

 

Nope. Charter legs are 135, owner legs are 91k, repo's are 91.

 

How many street captains are they getting every month?

 

Morning folks, anyone headed to Daytona for the onsite interviews on the 8th and 9th? I think I might head up that way and check things out. Can anyone tell me what these onsite events are like. I assume it will be a very similar setup as the HQ locations with a HR segment, a Tech segment, and potentially a sim session? If so, do you all know what the sim is to be used. I have never actually spent any time in a sim and was wondering what they used in case I could find one around south Florida to check out before I would head up there later next week?

Thanks all
KC

 

Usually a redbird at Daytona. If I am remembering correctly, it's at Phoenix East. If you can, I would recommend flying a couple of hours in one getting used to how it handles. You will shoot an ILS to mins more than likely and go missed as published. As far as the tech, be familiar with Jepp plates. You don't have to be an expert but just be familiar with them. Understand the briefing strips and how to brief as you'll be asked to brief a plate. Know your typical airspace and cloud requirements along with weather mins and alternates etc. Basic stuff. They are trying to get a feel for where you are and where your head is as well as your level of preparation. There is no trickery or hidden agendas or gotchas. Pretty straight forward. They want to see if they can spend a week with you on the road essentially. Getting a feel for you and your character and how you act and your attitude. HR is basic questions. You still need to be prepared. Don't go in blind. Dress business casual. Slacks and a button down shirt with or without a tie is my recommendation. I think a suit is overkill. They'll be in a polo and slacks doing the interview most likely.

Good luck.

 

I have been searching through 100 pages and haven't bump into how many hours FO is averaging.

Any help would be appreciated.
