Folks,
This whole issue is peculiarly Australia, out in the real world, ICUS/AICUS/P1-U/S/Command Practice/Whatever It is Called by a local NAA just isn't an issue, with the widespread adoption of the MPL for airline cadet pilot training, it just isn't an issue.
But, in good old Australia the battle rages on, the Holy Word "Command" must not be used in conjunction with any other word, and certainly not with the intent of ICAO Annex 1, and "The Rest Of The Know World" (or most of it) has got it wrong.
Geeez, some of you bloke would be upset to know that, in most cases with US operators, the Second in Command ( there's that word again), know here as the F/O or co-pilot -- logs straight Command, when he/she is pilot flying, if he/she is an ATR, which is almost 100% of the time.

Centaurus and like, how's that grab ya!! Straight unadorned, unvarnished, unqualified (and I mean the Holy Word is unqualified, not the pilot) command time. This is something FAA just does not get hot and bothered about.

Tootle pip!!

PS: Centaurus, I do and I was.

Tootle pip!!
