I would agree with TwinNDB here, they probably mean PIC, but anyhow good luck.
Grrowler, Qantas does not except ICUS hey, I have yet to hear that. I am aware of one cadet on the 400's that logs her time as co-pilot when in 2nd Off stage, and logs time as ICUS when progression is made to first Off in order to met the hour requirements, whatever they are. Correct me if I am wrong here please, but having posed the question "how do you log your time?" that was her response.
I therefore do not understand why Qantas would not accept ICUS.
Having said all that, I agree that heaps is obviously not desired, but there are useful reasons for doing ICUS in pistons twins so long as there is a good reason and it is done legitimately. For example, insurance req'mts, company req'mts, route checks, CAO req'mts (10hrs PIC/ICUS for charter) etc.
I myself only have 3.3hrs ICUS, but I can see a purpose for it as I said, if it is legit.
