Update to my last post. I said:
Supervised solo counts as P1
Since then, I have an idea that "supervised solo" in JAR-speak and in FAR-speak may not be the same thing?

If you are on your own in an aircraft, the instructor is on the ground supervising you, then you are P1. This is what I understand by "supervised solo".

However, I have an inkling that in FAR-speak, "supervised solo" might mean that the instructor is in the aircraft, but not influencing the controls? Is that correct? In JAR-speak, if you are a student pilot and not on an integrated course, you must log that as PUT. To log it as P1 (supervised solo) would definitely be incorrect, since the instructor, if not captain of the aircraft, would have to be a passenger, and you as a student are not allowed to carry passengers.

Not sure if I've understood the FAA position correctly though?
