Logging long-haul flying as an SO
Hello everyone,
I've recently started a long haul job as a Second Officer. Prior to this, everything I've done was single pilot or 2 crew.
I'm getting some conflicting info from people at work as to how we log our flight time.
I've been told the SOs just log "co-pilot" and given total aeronautical experience doesn't exist anymore, it just goes in as 1 for 1 with total hours.
People have told me separate things on exactly how much time to log. So far I've gotten:
1) Only log time while seated in one of the two front seats (so 50% of the cruise minus the last hour basically) or about 6.5 hours total on a transpacific
2) You're part of the crew whenever you're on the flight deck, so log everything except time spent in crew rest (so about 8 hours per transpac)
3) Just log the whole flight from pushback to shutdown
For those of you who have been doing long haul for a long time, what's the accepted norm?
Thanks
