PIC?
I'm doing my FAA standalone at the moment and the instructors don't log it as PIC time, as would be expected. Until I flew 2 hrs helicopter the other day and he insisted I put it down as PIC (which doesn't make sense since I never finished my rating/PPL H).
But it got me thinking about the Cessna time:
FAR 61.51 says: A private or commercial pilot may log PIC time if that person is "the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated".
I am the sole manipulator. I am rated for the aircraft on my ICAO (UK PPL).
What gives?
