Here is a hypathetical. I heard a pilot saying how they regret not getting typed while they where flying a J41 for an east coast carrier. Her reasoning was that she could have logged PIC and thus advanced faster through aviation. Say I get typed in a Saab and go fly for Mesaba. If I'm flying a particular leg of a flight and since i'm typed am I able to log multi-engine PIC Turbine time?
Here is a refference from the UPS website for pilot credentials;
Have a minimum of 1000 hours pilot in command (PIC) hours in fixed-
wing jet and/or fixed-wing multi-engine turboprop Pilot in Command, per FAR 1.1, means the person who:
Note: PIC for this purpose is defined as Captain/Aircraft Commander of record, not simply the sole manipulator of the controls.
So according to Fedex this wouldnt work, I'd have to be captain left seat flying.
Legally, as a typed pilot though, i can log PIC and count that towards the UPS requirements. Any opinions?
