Does anyone have the definite answer for this? If you are typed, 293 and 297 current, is a 299 required to log PIC time in an aircraft? Basically, can you log PIC if you are not the signing captain? I have read some posts on this, but there are several opinions. I read the regs as that it is legal to log PIC for logging purposes.
but the qualfications are covered in 135, 121 and 61. you have to fullfill the qualifications before you can log it.
No. You must fulfill the requirements before you can ACT as PIC.
Logging of PIC is entirely another subject.
so you dont need to be qualified as a pic to log it ?
The orginal question was how it related to 135. In 135 to be PIC you need to be qualified. If your not qualified why would you want to log it ? 91 is much different.
doesnt logging pic kind of elude that you were the pic of the aircraft.
Ive never heard of an arguement like this in 135 or 121. If your checked as an SIC you can log PIC ?
Logging PIC doesnt mean your acting as PIC ?
This is weird.
With the exception of 737drvr and Pilotyip, I dont think any of the others on here have a clue of what your talking about.
727Niteflyer,
Since when does FAR 61 & 91 have nothing to do with FAR 135 & 121? Also, a .299 line check only makes you qualified to SERVE as PIC. The type rating makes you qualified to LOG PIC.
avbug,
It's nice to see that at least one person on this entire forum gets it. Thanks.
Jeppesen's FARs Explained by Kent Jackson
"There are 2 ways to log PIC time that are pertinent to this question. The first is as the pilot responsible for the safety and operation of an aircraft during flight time. If a pilot is designated as a PIC for a flight by the certificate holder, as required by 135.109, that person is designated as PIC for the entire flight, no matter who is actually manipulating the controls of the aircraft, because that pilot is responsible for the safety and operation of the aircraft. The second way to log PIC flight time that is pertinent to this questions is to be the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated. Thus, a multi-engine airplane flown under Part 135 by 2 pilots can have both pilots logging time as PIC when the appropriately rated SIC is manipulating the controls. We stress however, that here we are discussing LOGGING of flight time for the purpose of FAR61.51, where you are keeping a record to show recent flight experience or to show that you meet the requirements for a higher rating."
Then they say:
"Your question does not say if the SIC in your example is fully qualified as a PIC, or only an SIC. This is important, because even though an SIC can log PIC time, that pilot has not qualified to SERVE as a PIC under part 135. An example of the difference is 135.225(d), which raises IFR landing minimums for PIC's of turbine powered airplanes flown under Part 135 who have not SERVED at least 100 hours as PIC in that type of airplane. SERVED and LOGGED are not the same in this context, and no matter how the SIC logs his time, he has not SERVED as a PIC until he has completed the training and check rides necessary for certification as a Part 135 PIC."
So if you are only SIC qualified under 135, but typed & current in the airplane, you can LOG PIC.

Again, my initial question was about logging time. I know some airlines don't care about that time, and rightly so, but you should differentiate that in your log notes. then you won't have to explain anything to anyone. Let it be know up front that you are not claiming that you have SERVED as PIC just by LOGGING PIC. That you only logged PIC time for the purposes of a rating/experience requirements. Anyhow, I hope this helps.
you guys are lost. when you fly 135 or 91 you also fly under 61 and 91 regs. you never ignore 61 or 91 you have to fullfill the qualifications of them all. so to be a pic under 135 for instance, you have fullfill the qulifications of 61 and those listed in 135.
If you are flying under 135 regs you have to have a line check before you fullfill the qualifications of a pic (its the completion of training). sitting in the right seat of an aircraft without the qualification and saying your pic when your manipulating the controls does not make you pic. therefore you cannot log it.
