btw nobody is being fraudulent. Every entry in the logbook requires the aircraft registration to be written. it is obvious from this that the flying was done under a foreign jurisdiction.
+1 here.
Under FAA, FO can log IMC time even when he is designated as a PM. Is this fraudulent when I apply for license conversion in Australia? Don't think so.
Now the big question is, a FO designated as PF is able to log hours as PIC because there is no such thing as "ICUS" in FAA logbook. (FAA says sole-manipulator of flight controls/autopilot log hours as PIC)
So, will this be recognised as "PIC" hours or "ICUS" hours in Australia?
