Default Can anyone help clarify IP time to me

I was a single seat hornet guy in the fleet, and then did a FRS instructor pilot tour. We never tracked IP time and now I need it for an interview. What exactly is IP time?

Is it just when I'm instructing someone in the same cockpit?

Does it matter if I am front or back seat?

Does it matter if I am teaching a pilot or WSO?

What if I am solo and have a student on my wing?

Thanks a plenty

I posted here the same time as I did over there. I also have this book, everything explained for the professional pilot, that was not of much use either. They did help me understand that nobody really cares about IP time, but if I'm asked to explain it in an interview I'd like to have a clue.

I logged IP time whenever I was instructing -- front seat or back, or even if I was instructing my wingman from another jet.

I think the contact the FSDO advice was good. You can then tell the airlines why you reported it that way, namely Inspector So and So from the whatever office told me to do it that way and that should satisfy any airline interviewer. Documentation showing you are/were an IP is, of course, a must. Since you didn't log IP time as such be prepared to tell the interviewers how you computed your totals.

Hopefully you put what type of flight it was in the remarks portion of your yellow sheet/NAVFLIR. If not you'll have to refer to the dates you were an FRS IP and subtract all the flights that were X/C, FCF, or IP Proficiency flights. TMR codes in your logbook can help you decipher which ones to subtract from that time frame.

Pile on to the single seat crowd...if you are performing any instructor duties from your jet you are logging IP time. Including updating a dudes LOWAT, form takeoff, landing currency etc. No gradesheets on those, but IP required.
