I think the point 'she' was making was ICUS logged by F/Os not S/Os...still without a command endorsement?

What is so confusing about this issue for young pilots these days?

If you are being trained for command (and therfore have a command endorsement) by a training captain you log ICUS....be it 10 hours for a C441 or 150 hours for a B737!

If you are in the RHS with a co-pilot endorsement you log F/O time!

Simple really

I know under JAR OPS people log P1/P2...presumably the youngster in the RHS has a command endorsement, but in any effect this is not the system in place in Oz....live with it

No matter how much you want to believe that bodgy ICUS is 'the same thing' as being in command it is NOT!!

Even real ICUS is more closely akin to Dual than real command!

I shudder to think what will go on when/if CASA acts in it's threat to consign 2nd class endorsements to the history books...a bunch of young copilots logging each sector they are PF as 'command'

Sheer madness!!
