PIC time Allocation 91/135

Asked by: 2959 views FAA Regulations

Hello,

    I am hoping to get clarification on accurate time logging, could you please provide a straightforward explanation of how PIC (Pilot in Command) time should be allocated post-flight, specifically focusing on the Second-in-Command (SIC)?

I am particularly interested in the nuances related to:

  • When an SIC is the sole manipulator of the controls.
  • The impact of the SIC being PIC type-rated on the aircraft.
  • How an SIC's Part 135 qualification checks (specifically holding only a 135.297 vs. both a 135.297 and 135.299) affect their ability to log PIC time under Part 91 versus Part 135 operations.

Any help is appreciated!
