logging time (again)

[av8g]

I know this question has probably been asked, answered, argued, and mulled over since Orville went to log his first flight but please humor me anyway.

I recently started flying copilot in a BE-20 Part 91. I am not typed in the King Air but I do have my AMEL and MEI. The Captian is not a ATP or Instructor so I cannot log the flights as dual recieved. I am sole manipulator of the controls occationaly. Should I log this time? These are the things I'm thinking of:

Am A FAA legal to fly it? Yes (under 12,500)

Could I fly it as sole PIC according to insurance? Hell No

Would it be logical that I be flying it under the supervision of an experienced jet pilot? Yes

Does it look like something believeable or worthwhile in my log book? That is the question.

What do you all think of my logic? Would you log it (even partialy?)

Log It. Nothing illegal about it. The FAR's do state that you can't operate as PIC of an aircraft with a certified ceiling above 25,000ft. without a high altitude sign off. However, the reg "sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft you are rated in" applies here b/c the high altitude endorsement is just that, an endorsement. A rating is what you have on your license. Just don't fly it by yourself and you have no problems. However, if you do log it PIC, you'd better know everything you could possibly know about it b/c you'll probably be asked detailed questions about the systems in a later interview.
