does the definition of PIC time on the SWA website allow an F/O WITH A TYPE RATING and AS THE SOLE MANIPULATOR of the controls to count that time towards the 1,000 turbine PIC requirement?
here is what the definition says from the website:
"*Southwest Airlines defines "Pilot in Command" as the Pilot responsible for the operation and safety of the aircraft during flight. This definition is taken from PART I of the FAR. Southwest Airlines further allows logging of PIC as follows: For an aircraft requiring a type rating: If both pilots are type rated, the pilot in the left seat and sole manipulator of the controls may log PIC"
can the sole manipulator of the aircraft be the F/O? or is it saying the pilot in the left seat only when he is the sole manipulator of the controls can log PIC time?
Desperately seeking PIC time......
