I'd say for the simple reason you can't "mix 'n match" regulatory bodies. That is, you can't instruct for FAA certs in a military plane. As far as the FAA is concerned the military plane doesn't exist. You can fly in the military without an FAA certificate. There are good reasons to keep a bright line between them.

Disagree. I know plenty of folks that have brought the FAA onboard their military airplane to get their ATP.
My landings in the military airplanes I fly count for my FAA/CFR regulatory currencies.
Additionally, my friends at some non-military govt agencies do much of this.

Is there a reference that you have that says I cannot cross the streams?

And many military airplanes have FAA-issued type certificates. The C-130 and C-141 come to mind.

You can log anything you want.

If you want to use that time towards an FAA certificate, I'd have to ask: What was the purpose of that flight? Was the purpose of that flight training intended to certificate/rate that guy in the aircraft as a pilot? (not to mention does he at least have a student pilot cert?)

As I understand it, NFOs go through some very abbreviated flight training during their school, which would probably be ok to log (without checking any references to be sure) due to the purpose/intent.

What?

Did you even read what you posted?

+1 I got my ATP in a Navy UC-12 with a FAA examiner riding in the back up on headset.

Especially in the case where the Pilot has an FAA Instructor certificate...
And the Nav has an FAA PPL or Commercial...
Would you agree the Nav can log "dual"?
He has to have a type, or a form 8, you can get a check as a pilot, but that's after you've got the form 8.... If it was all on the FAA side I'd say yes, you can log the time, but that would be in a plane less than 12,5k or your not PIC,

Sure. All you need is an FAA instructor on board to log dual. You don't even need a student pilot certificate to log dual (you need it to solo).

NFO training is commonly logged as dual received because many IP's have an FAA CFI too. Without an FAA CFI it would be hard to count it for FAA purposes...in addition to intent, you must have an FAA CFI on board for that.

It's definitely flight training though...if they're good enough they let them solo at the end, or at least they used to.

FIFY. Left a key word out....

Edit to add: Let's notch up the absurdity. Several years ago, I was on an airline flight from Key West to Miami. The "real" airplane was overbooked, and 7 (8? 9?) of us were shunted over to some contracted twin turboprop (no idea what it was). One of the pax was in the right seat. By the logic I'm reading in this thread, that pax should've logged SIC.... Nonsense!!
