Military to civilian logbook
Hey all, I want to run this over. This is for multi engine airplanes.
My military logbook for multi engine has the following columns:
Dual, First Pilot, Second Pilot
We log First Pilot all the time (even if we are not PIC and not sign out the aircraft, even FO's log it under First Pilot). 2nd pilot is rarely used, and only some log it if they are the spare pilot (so not at the controls). This is how the logbook gets certified every month by our chain of command. Like the civilian logbook, there is a column where one enters 1st pilot name, and that acts as PIC (if SELF is not written there, then that means the time entered in the First Pilot column is not PIC).
Now, the civilian logbook as the following columns:
Dual, PIC, Co-Pilot
Now the question is: Am I suppose to log all my time under Co-Pilot column in my civilian logbook unless I actually sign out the aircraft at which point I would log it under PIC? Or log it under PIC column and write the actual PIC person name under that column?
I have a feeling this also might be a bit different depending on the country. If you could also mention what country you are from if you are in a similar situation (military pilot keeping track into a civilian logbook as well), please mention it.
Thanks
