Inbound On Descent
So - operators requirements notwhithstanding, this means by law to fly a Metro or SAAB or -100 Dash, in command RPT, you must have 500 Multi command.
That's not what it is saying at all. Low capacity RPT is less than 50 seats so 500 hours ICUS is OK. While I can’t find the reference off the top of my head for High Capacity RPT (50 seats or more) I do recall it said something similar.

These are the legal requirements to log ICUS. There is no requirement to be in the left hand seat to log command or ICUS. Nor do you have to have an ATPL if the aircraft requires one to be in command to log ICUS.
