Title 14 CFR part 61.55(e). This regulation focuses on SIC qualifications. My huband's PF (and PICUS) experience certainly falls under the specifications of that regulation. We are trying to find definitive answers on this subject through multiple resources (and contacts). We will definitely let this forum know the final answer, especially for any foreign pilots considering transferring to the aviation business in the US. This seems to be a key component to clarify before even moving ahead with license conversion. My husband may even need to keep a second (electronic?) log book moving forward so that he can log his hours properly according to his airline's policy and FAA regulations. And I thought just flying a plane was difficult. Ha!
does your husband have a PIC type rating on his EASA license for the jet he was flying?
