Ok ... just to clear things up, this is how flight time is logged :
(which is what I meant by saying different countries different interpretations)
In the USA :
After PPL, you log under PIC as well as DUAL.
This DUAL-PIC (After PPL) means the same as P1 UNDER TRAINING in Canada and other JAA/Commonwealth countries.
It is also the same as logging P1 U/T in India.
and is also the same as logging SPIC (Student PIC) in India.
In India :
DUAL is DUAL only.
One can not log flights under PIC and DUAL simultaneously when flying in India.
Hence ... the confusion rises in this case because people think that the DUAL logged in USA after PPL is purely DUAL.
There is no concept of P1 UNDER TRAINING in USA.
P1 U/T in USA = logging under both DUAL and PIC columns.
Hope this clears confusions.
