All to the best of my knowledge....
Hello just wondering what time counts as PIC time for JAA. Are you not PIC while you are dual/getting instruction?
Correct. If you are under instruction, you are P/ut (Pilot under training) If you are not under instruction, i.e you are the commander, then you are PIC, I enter it as P1 in the logbook
What about when you get your instrument rateing, then flying with your instructor your commercial, are you PIC or not?
Same as above.
What about when you have your CPL/IR and working on your flight instructor ratings, then are you PIC or not?
I don't quite know what you mean. If you are the flight instructor, you are PIC. If you are the student, then you are Pu/t.
If you are on a flight test, like the PPL flight test for example, you log the time as P1/s (Pilot in command under supervision).
Hope this helps,
