Sounds to me like he already is checked out aircraft wise.

I can't find any gray in that part of 61.56(d). Where's the confusion?
What is an operating privelege? Does an SIC PC count?

I'm not saying it doesn't, but legally the fed could interpret that any way they like. I have enough experience with law to know that this reg (like many FARs) is weak and open to interpretation. Remember this is not criminal or civil law where the tie goes to the runner...the grey area usually goes to the feds.

"...passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner..."

... sounds like your question was answered in there. Not sure what else you need. A SIC PC is a PROFICIENCY CHECK conducted by an EXAMINER ... that's a done deal, no questions asked. Now, you may still have to be checked out by one of their instructors in one of their planes to go fly, but that's typical of any FBO

Thanks for all the replies. I was hoping to avoid having to get a copy of my pc. I used to instruct there and I walk in the place in uniform all the time. The lady running the place is just super anal about having paperwork.

I might just go flying and then have a beer with one of my cfi friends. That sounds more entertaining than doing a paper chase.

Gotcha sounds like a solid plan

Well, it says "rating, or operating privilege" and I would say that you are doing your PC for your the privilege of operating under your SIC type rating. I'd say you're doubly covered. While I agree that the feds can be sneaky bastards, I think this reg is pretty unambiguous. Think of it this way...If a PC didn't count then how would any of us be allowed to operate the aircraft we fly without going somewhere to get a BFR every couple years. The answer is that the PC does count...or everybody who has been in their seat for over 2 years is flying illegally.

You run into a lot of people who are "super anal about the paperwork" in aviation these days.

Don't take it personally.

Your company doesnt require you to carry a copy of your last check with you?

Part 121: "A company shall not use and an airman shall not serve..." & blah blah...

By the nature of operational control the CP, scheduler, dispatcher, airman shall ensure that the crew member (basically the "company" as specified in your FOM, or equivalent) is current and qualified before operating under that rule. I find it strange if a crew member must carry documents (other than cert. and medical) showing their qualifications and currency. I have never seen anything about this in 8400.10 but that doesn't mean its not there.

And as always, call your local FSDO if in doubt.
