Yes you can log P2 time in a single pilot aircraft
Hi,
I have seen this argument running many times on pprune, and the consensus has always been the same (viz, single pilot ac => P1, no P2).
However there are certain circumstances where a crew of 2 may be required even on a single pilot ac. The most common of course is flight instruction where the instructor logs it as P1 and the student logs it as PUT (P2).
There are however other circumstances where a crew of 2 may be required on a single pilot ac. For example, if you are making an instrument approach with an RVR less than 800m in a single pilot ac without a 2 axis autopilot with localiser capture then a crew of 2 is required.
Therefore you could log this time as p2. Question is whether you could log the whole flight time as p2, or only the approach time.
Answers on a postcard please,
Carl.
