What is a SiC type-rating anyway? How would a type rating test differ from a "full" rating test?
As Pontius suggests, it does muddy the waters somewhat when trying to compare apples with apples.....
Under FAA there is such a thing as SIC type rating.
Anyway, when flying with an instructor both log PIC.
When an applicant flies with an examiner both log PIC.
Europe or the U.K. rather are the ones that muddy the water with
PIC
SPIC
PICUS
If you're qualified to fly the plane you log it as PIC when you're flying the plane.
In FAA land.
I'm bowing out.
These discussions occur every 28 days ( or is it 30?) and always ends in the same drama.
Look up your countries regs and save some bandwith.
