Logbook hrs adv/disadv of JAR/FAA
Dear RH,
Not having an FAA licence I'm not familiar with all the in/outs of logbook entries, but it seems to me they have an advantage over JAR licence holders. Am I correct in saying an FAA holder can enter all flights they do in a non type rated aircraft (under a certain weight, not sure precisely what it is but pretty much includes most helicopters).
How can this be fair to a JAR person who cannot log these hours if they do not have type rating ?
Why cannot we log these hours under safety pilot (under co-pilot but add in remarks column) ?
As a freelancer it becomes frustrating when I have nearly over 60 hours logged as 'safety pilot' and not able to enter into my logbook.
What are people thoughts and do RH's enter these hours in their logbooks anyway ?
Thanks again for your time and thoughts
