ATP ride it's PIC right

[milflyboy]

I know this is a stupid question that I should know the answer to:

You are PIC when taking your ATP checkride right?

 

[Frank Towns]

I was, and mine was combined with my first type rating.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

Are you appropriately rated in the aircraft you will be doing your ATP ride in......then yes

 

[JAFI]

You are the PIC during ANY FAA rating ride. I'm not sure what question you are asking? Loging, actions, what??

I took one of those crash courses in a Piper Aztec. You know a couple of rides and you are done. I am just used to from the Air Force that on some of our checks (yearly Instrument check) the Check Pilot is PIC.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

well for insturment yeah b/c your not instrument rated so therefore not PIC....

Yes I am. I am not talking about the initial check, but yearly currency checks.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

for recurrent then your pic

 

[milflyboy]

Not in my Air Force

Even in the Air Force, on line checks the checke is the PIC. On recurrent I checks and qual checks it normally is the check pilot to allow for touch and goes etc. But it could be the checke

I repeat "In my Air Force it is the Check Pilot that is the PIC during I Checks"
My Air Force being the Danish one Yes you could do it the other way around, but we have deemed that it was smartest to let the "safety pilot" be the PIC.

Just for the fun of it let's take a scenario where the Checkride is flown under actual IMC (Happens a lot here in Denmark) What happens if the dude fails the ride in the middle? He would loose instrument status right there so you would have to change who is PIC in the middle to recover the plane, but that is kind of hard since the checke signed for the plane
