PICUS time towards Licence Issue
Quick question:
Can the JAA recognise PICUS flying for an FAA Part 91 company as long as everything is signed? When I say FAA Part 91 Company, I'm talking flying single pilot operations in the Rhs logging PICUS. Let me know thanks. |
It sounds as though you're trying to claim time for 'co-pilot' PICU/S time in an aeroplane which is certified for single pilot operations?
In which case the answer to your question is probably no. See LASORS2008: Pilot logbooks must be kept in accordance with the provisions of the UK ANO currently in force and should also conform to JAR-FCL (IEM FCL 1.080/2.080 refers). It should be noted that the practices of logging details of flight time towards the grant of a UK issued flight crew licence or rating, shall always be based on the rules for the recording of pilot function applicable in the UK. Also, see the following note regarding co-pilot time (my bold emphasis): A pilot claiming time spent as co-pilot performing the duties and functions of pilot-in-command, under the supervision of the pilot-in-command, toward meeting the licence requirements as given in Case B, will be credited with that flight time only if: a. the flight was conducted in an aircraft having a Certificate of Airworthiness that requires its flight crews to include not less than two pilots; b. he was responsible for checking the accuracy of the flight plan, load sheet and fuel calculations for the flight; c. he ensured that all crew checks were carried out in accordance with the laid down operation procedures; d. throughout the flight he carried out all the duties and functions of pilot-in-command and conducted the take-off and the landing; e. he resolved all meteorological, communication and air traffic control problems; f. the pilot-in-command did not have to overrule any course of action proposed or taken by the co-pilot; g. the pilot-in-command certifies in the co-pilot’s flying log book against the entry for that flight that it was carried out by the co-pilot acting as pilot-in-command under supervision. Such certification will be taken as confirming that all the foregoing conditions were met. You can download LASORS2008 at no cost from the CAA website. |
