Checkout of difference training logging
Although not strictly related to the original post I thought it relevant to post here (sorry for duplicating anything above).
I have a JAR PPL and recently underwent some difference training on a single engine with a variable pitch prop. I've just phoned the CAA to clarify the "Guide to logbook annotation" table on Page 42 section A of LASORS 2006 and they've made it clear to me that:
- "PIC U/S" or "P1 U/S" is for really for use with multi-pilot aircraft or for flight tests
- I should log my difference training as "P/UT". The instructor would log his time as "P1".
This is also the case for my colleague who recently underwent a check-out flight on a non-complex SE aircraft (Piper Warrior) that he'd flown before. He is also a JAR PPL but his currency on that aircraft had lapsed. His time can only be logged as "P U/T" and not "PIC U/S". Again the instructor will log "P1".
