Logging second-pilot time?
Am interested in how second-pilot time can be logged on smaller onshore helicopters
I was recently told that if the aircraft is certified as single pilot, then the second pilot can log nothing, not even P2. Is this right, even on the more complex twins such as AS355, A109 or S76?
I have been considering a rating on a twin a/c in the hope of getting some second pilot experience. It hardly seems worthwhile if I get no written or logged evidence of having completed it that can be shown to future employers.
On a similar note; what is the requirement for being base and lined on two pilot jobs. Do both pilots need to be b&l or is it just the commander? If the 'two pilot' flight is merely a customer request then I assume the second pilot does not require to be currently b&l?
