Just to clear things up:

Sole manipulator of the controls, you can log PIC for the purposes of FAA certification if you are certified and rated in the aircraft. You can make a column such as “FAA Sole Manipulator PIC” so that when you show it to a DPE/ADP, they can accurately assess if you qualify for the rating or not.

This does NOT mean that you can put it down as PIC on your résumé/CV. *In the US, you are expected to only put PIC time if you were the commander that signed for*the aircraft.

I made a digital logbook and after a category for FAA PIC for the purposes of certification. *Once I got my FAA ATP, I no longer maintained this column. *I also had a column for EASA PIC, since EASA rules varied. It is important to know what the regulation says and also what is expected by potential employers.
