Helicopter PIC Time

[weekendwarrior]

Ok fellas. Here's one for you. My apologies if it has been answered before. I am a rated aviator in the army, and hold a commercial rotor wing FAA certificate. I am now in AH64D school. Being that am rated in rotorcraft (FAA) can I log PIC if I am sole manipulator of the controls? I understand that as far as military time is concerned, it is not PIC, but for civilian purposes does it count?

You Bet !

I had the same question out of flight school... I asked an FAA inspector from a local FSDO to clarify the regs and he said I could log pic if I were the sole manipulator of the controls...

It worked for me... Hope this helps....

Good Day !!!!!!

Legally you can log it as "PIC". That would be Part 61 PIC.

If you ask me it is bogus. Just log PIC for the time you are the aircraft commander. no one cares about your pic time anyways.
