I think the whole reason that provision about "SIC conducting duties of PIC" is in there is so that you could log PIC time during your CA IOE. That is the only time you're actually performing the duties of PIC under the supervision of the PIC (check airmen). At that point you have all the appropriate ratings, but the check airmen still signs the release, meaning he's the actual PIC. Am I wrong?


If you're sitting in the left seat receiving CA IOE, haven't you already received your ATP certificate?...

Of course you do. You have to have your ATP before going to upgrade training. That's what I'm saying. During your CA IOE, you have ALL of the appropriate certificates (ATP) and type rating to log PIC. However, the Check airmen is the PIC until you get signed off and are the pilot who signs the release prior to each flight. This provision allows a pilot to log PIC time during IOE since you're performing the duties of PIC under supervision. Even though the check airmen is the PIC.

What regulation allows someone to upgrade at a 121 carrier with no ATP and without the ATP PIC requirement?

CrakPipeOvrheat 01-06-2012 12:51 PM

People say they know people, or have talked to people, or have upgraded them self and earned an ATP without 250 pic, 100 pic xc, and 25 pic night. How is this legal?

The scenario you have described is really two airmen with ATP certificates and PIC type ratings conducting line training for the CA candidate to be released to the line. None of it relates toward attaining the experience required to become eligible for an ATP.

Nobody should be able to be in a captain seat without at least 500hrs PIC.

That was helpful. Just answer the question. Page 5 and no one has answered it yet.

Ok, I have over 3000 hours just in the dash8 but only 200 hrs pic. Are you to tell me that some newhire that's been flight instructing with no 121 experience is more qualified to be captain than I am? I understand your argument but do you think 500 hours of flying Vfr pattern work is going to make me one hell of a captain? I dont think so, but I'd be able to fly one hell of a box pattern

I often don't like the interpretations grey area either, but do YOU want the job of writing out all of those regulations in black and white? :eek:
Some people actually like the grey areas because it gives them LEEWAY to operate. This is one of those things that often comes down to you like it grey if it helps you, and you don't if it is a hindrance.
