Splitting Muti time three ways...

[cvsfly]

Good luck to you and your career. I will definitely look and question future resumes more closely in the future.

let us see this "letter"

I will introduce you to Santa Claus if you can produce this "letter"


BTW, I logged another .5 reading this post, where in the regs does it say I cant log time reading about flying? Where?I might get me one of them their letters also!

Simply put, think about the following:

As a professional pilot I will likely have my logbooks looked at by:

1. An administrator of the FAA who wants to revoke my certificate.

or

2. An interviewer and fellow pilot much like the people on this board.

If you decide to try to strech a legal definition in a desperate attempt to cram some hours in your book it will show, and probably come into question at the worst possible time (interview).

First you can go to every FSDO in the US and get that many different responses on a regulation interpretation. The only response on any FAR interpretations will come from the regional council and those are the interpretations that the NTSB and FAA will use in hanging you if they don't like what you are doing. In that sense I would have to believe if you have thought of a loophole or found a loophole in the regulations I would bet that they have case law to close those loopholes.

Upncoming,

OK, so number 2 is wrong, fair entough. do you have some support for that? I thought I'd seen an interpretation which stated it was legal, but perhaps not. In either case, don't worry too much about my logbooks, they can pass the sniff test. I wouldn't worry too much about my safety pilot time either, I have, I think, 2.2 hours of safety pilot time logged. I logged it because conventional wisdom said that you should. After the second flight logged that way, I thought about what I was doing and asked myself why I was putting it in my logbook. My preference was to have my logbook reflect flying that I had actually done, and I wasn't doing any flying ...soooo I stopped logging safety pilot time. I don't think that safety pilot time is necessarily wrong, per se, I just chose not to put any more in my logbook.

>>>>>"Sorry, my benchmark for "ethical" behavior will be the regs"

Well, generally speaking, the law is about a low a bench mark as one can find for morality. Even the most ethically stunted among us can grasp that laws and regulations frequently fail to proscribe unethical behavior. In some cases, laws actually require unethical behavior ... but that is another discussion. The point is, and this point has been made before, and you still seem to be missing it, is that legality is *not* the sole determiner of ethics.

Essentially, your attitude is "whatever I can get away with under the regulations is just fine" That is not ethics, that's convenience. There's a vast gulf of difference between the two. You may be unable to appreciate the difference, hopefully others can.

Lastly, to address your whinging about the "barrage of negative comments"; The negative comments are kinda the whole point ... yet another point you seem to be missing. What I would hope a young aviator would draw from this entire discussion would be that while you may find a few who won't object, the staggering majority of the aviation community thinks that triple logging is a bit sleazy.

Ive trained plenty of CFI applicants while sitting in the backseat, but did i log the time? No way. Besides, its pretty sad if you need the time that bad as opposed to the experience of actually flying the airplane which will come out in the wash. Now did i charge the student for that time while I was in the back seat? Absolutely

Im an MEI..and currently splitting time with friends, and act as safety pilot for half of the flights...i read that the pilot flying should put the safety pilots name in his log book. What about the safety pilot..what should he put? Also, If we're both MEI's should we just both log dual recieved in each others logbooks? Just making sure i do this right.

 

[flying_gringo]

why not throw a fourth person in?

1. Student under the hood
2. Safety Pilot
3. Instructor teaching students
4. ATP giving instruction towards an ATP for all.

There's got to be a way to get a fifth and sixth... I don't want to send my plane out with empty seats now.

don't take this seriously.

LOGGING MEI IN THE BACK SEAT

Take a look at this:

Tucson, AZ - 3 Fatalities

The MEI was in the back seat.
