Hey folks,
I'm an FO at a regional and I am thinking about getting my ATP before upgrade. My only issue is the PIC time. I have 1600 totals with 320 PIC and 1200 SIC. According to the regs to get the full ATP I need 1200 PIC. I know I can use half ofmy SIC time towards the total PIC but even with that I am still short. 320 + 600= 920 PIC.
My written expires soon and I can't wait for another 600 hours of SIC. I know also I can take the flight test but I should get a restriction on my certificate saying I don't meet the ICAO PIC requirement.
Anybody has done that before? How can you remove the restriction once you reach the 1200 PIC? Does it mean I can still be a captain if i stay in the US?
Thanks for all your infos
