G-SPOTs Lost - Well your attitude towards claiming hours is wrong. Its not up to the CAA to 'find out' - thats illegal - if you get caught thats another matter - but mis-declaring hours is a definite no no. Thats called deception.
There is nothing to say you cannot record the flight in TWO separate log books in two different ways - then the recording of the flight in each case is correct and the hours you claim to the appropriate authority are correct under the rules of that authority.
The other option is dont count a flight towards two different hours claims and fulfil each authorities requirements separately.
The question however, was one of logging hours flown under one regime for claim under another. For me this is simple.
If you are a JAR licence holder, say a PPL upgrading to a JAR CPL NOT using a licence or ratings gained in another country then you must log the flight in accordance with JAR.
If you are using the hours to obtain a US CPL say, and then convert to a JAR CPL thats another matter and you would of course log the hours as per the US system as this is what would be required for the FAA to issue the CPL.
Juristriction is important - when you present your logbook evidence with a claim for the grant of a licence or rating you are signing forms to LEGALLY state that you have the experience you claim...if you did not have that experience then you may find yourself on the wrong side of things.
re the 747 captain he would be doing licence conversion. Would he need to do the 45 PPL - no. BUT nor did I say he would. I said he would have to meet the requirement for SEP issue. thats - an SEP class rating which is not the same as the PPL. That is unless of course he wants a PPL issues with a 747 type rating on it...
FAA knowledge is not required here as we are not talking about licence conversion of the FAA system. What we are debating here is the UK CAA & JAR FCL standards.
