This is one of the most confusing rules that depends on how it is interpreted. I'm an APD at a 121 carrier. When doing this certification under our program it was understood as 1200 initially with PIC + 1/2 SIC. This was incorrect as it had to do with helicopters. It then went to the PIC + 1/2 SIC= 1500. This then was changed to being read as as long as the governing body (FAA...I believe) determines you can use all of your SIC + PIC to meet the 1500 requirement then you don't need the restriction. This is now how we do it under our program...until it changes.

I just looked up the ICAO flight experience requirements and I dont see anything anywhere about 1200 hrs PIC or PIC/SIC combined. Does anyone know where that came from? This is what it said:
2.5.1.3
Experience
2.5.1.3.1 The applicant shall have completed not less than
1 500 hours of flight time as a pilot of aeroplanes. The
Licensing Authority shall determine whether experience as
a pilot under instruction in a synthetic flight trainer, which it
has approved, is acceptable as part of the total flight time of
1 500 hours. Credit for such experience shall be limited to a
maximum of 100 hours, of which not more than 25 hours shall
have been acquired in a flight procedure trainer or a basic
instrument flight trainer.
2.5.1.3.1.1 The applicant shall have completed in aeroplanes
not less than:
a) 250 hours, either as pilot-in-command, or made up by
not less than 100 hours as pilot-in-command and the
necessary additional flight time as co-pilot performing,
under the supervision of the pilot-in-command, the
duties and functions of a pilot-in-command, provided
that the method of supervision employed is acceptable
to the Licensing Authority;
b) 200 hours of cross-country flight time, of which not
less than 100 hours shall be as pilot-in-command or as
co-pilot performing, under the supervision of the pilotin-
command, the duties and functions of a pilot-incommand,
provided that the method of supervision
employed is acceptable to the Licensing Authority;
c) 75 hours of instrument time, of which not more than
30 hours may be instrument ground time; and
d) 100 hours of night flight as pilot-in-command or as copilot1 500 hours of flight time as a pilot of aeroplanes. The
Licensing Authority shall determine whether experience as
a pilot under instruction in a synthetic flight trainer, which it
has approved, is acceptable as part of the total flight time of
1 500 hours. Credit for such experience shall be limited to a
maximum of 100 hours, of which not more than 25 hours shall

The 1200 was initially a helicopter requirement, then in 2009 changed to whatever Annex 1 required, which if you read it, states what Magro99 said above.

We had some street hires on the dash back in the day with this issue. If the AGO is to act as captain, then you are limited to domestic only until you meet the pic requirements. If its the atp to comply with the new law, you are okay to act as an fo anywhere. Can someone confirm that there is a restriction placed on the certificate? Doesn't sound like the faa would care because it is an icao problem.

Doesn't anyone read the regs anymore?

That's what I said at the beginning of this thread.

I actually just broke 1500 hrs. The discrepency comes from not logging PIC or SIC in instances such as all training done before I got my Private or training for my multi when I couldnt log PIC time, or a time when I flew a tailwheel with an instructor but dont have my tailwheel endorsement. That time is neither PIC or SIC but still counts toward total time
Sad but true.
