Hi there Nevill Nobody
There are certain Aircraft that do not require ATPL`s to hold a command, I heard a that a metro is the largest A/C you can fly without ATPL, but i`m not 100% sure. And how the hell are can you build command hours in an aircraft if you are never allowed to be in command. why would you need ATPL credits to Log ICUS?? you are under Supervision...
Straight from CASA`s Website:
In Command Under Supervision (ICUS) The conditions for logging of ICUS are at CAR 5.40 and include the following:
- the pilot flying ICUS must hold either a CPL or an ATPL;
- the pilot flying ICUS must make all decisions relevant to the safe operation of the aircraft;
- the pilot must hold a command aircraft endorsement for that type;
- the pilot must hold a command instrument rating if the flight is conducted under the IFR;
- the operator must permit the person to fly the aircraft as pilot acting in command under supervision;
- the pilot in command of the aircraft must be appointed for the purpose by the operator of the aircraft.
