I own a 51' Cessna 170 VFR panel. Have 250hrs...shooting for the magic 1500. Looking to for someone to tag along and help with operating cost and split the time. Willing to fly as much as possible! I work 4 days on 4 days off. Located near Columbus, Ohio.

How do you intend to split the time with a “VFR panel”?
Basic attitude instrument flying under the hood?

log as total time but not PIC...friend of mine had no problem logging time like that counting toward ATP mins. If that doesn't work for ya then put a hood on 500 hrs of simulated instrument.

Check your inbox. PM sent.

Yeah I’d love to meet the DPE that allows this and his/her POI.
You can put anything you like in a logbook but what you can count towards a certificate or dating is pretty clearly spelled out and passenger time is sure as hell not one of them.
