Wheels up

he;s right....SIC time is SIC time....it matters not who is flying the plane. You have one PIC signing for the plane and one SIC.

The Navy got it right. Column for Aircraft Commander, First Pilot, co-pilot.

Aircraft commander is the PIC time airlines are requesting.

Manipulating the the controls? I do that 3 or 4 minutes per flight the autopilot is turned off.

Another interesting aspect......if you're single-pilot typed in the aircraft then the SIC cant log SIC from what some in the FAA say.

^^^Yes FOs are logging SIC time (all the time) flying the KA350s at Gama. Per their certificate.

unless the faa requires an SIC for the operation. which is very common. Ive interviewed guys who had 1000 sic time in a navajo.

^^^Sole manipulator does not mean jack to Major Airlines-if that's one of the places you wnat to end up. It's about who signed for the aircraft. If you have ever filled out the Airlineapps, they break down PIC time nicley. By the way, what is the CA logging if the Fo is also logging PIC time when they get to fly? They can't both log PIC time.

You have no idea what the interviewers background is. Any flight instructor knows about the part 61 sole manipulator wording. And how is the interviewer going to prove or know who signed for the aircraft?

Sure they can. PIC logs PIC time for being in charge. SIC logs PIC time for being sole manipulator (assuming he or she is rated if a type rating is required).

The gent who taught my ATP written prep lo these many years ago logged many hours of PIC time in the crew bunk of L1049 and L1649 Super Connies on the way across the pond.

Where are they getting their newhire FOs? I assume they require an ATP. Regionals? 135 operators?

More questions.......

If a King Air SIC really needs to worry about logging an hour of sole manipulator of the controls every now and then, I doubt he/she is gonna need to worry about a Legacy interview any time soon.. Unless said pilot is banging the CP or is his first born....

Anyone going from King Air SIC to a Legacy probably already has good experience at other operations...
