Can I log hours on jumpseat as safety copilot ( B737)
Hello,
When a new copilot come to my compagny, there is safety copilot on the jumpseat for the first 10 sectors.
Question: When I'm on duty as safety copilot, can I put these hours in my logbook ?
Many thanks , happy landings

In my previous co, I never logged any of the covering FO flights but was later told I could have as it was a requirement for the flight to operate that I was on the jump-seat.
Ask your management, could be something in your OMA.
Personally, not really fussed I didn't - somehow just doesn't seem right!
P.s 10 sectors?!? Really?

My impression is the aircraft is certified for 2 pilots. The trainee does not have an operations certificate therefore can't be officially P2, so the safety pilot should log as P2 as that is what he legally is. Does that sound right?

For what it's worth.
It might be entirely different in France but in the States the answer would be absolutely not.
A pilot can only log that time when required to be there by aircraft certificate or operating certificate.
The 737 certainly doesn't require three pilots but maybe there's a stipulation in the French operating certificate.
If not, then I wouldn't recognize it as pilot time.

Back to the point. Being the third pilot required to be there by the ops manual to facilitate training the new F/O means that you are a required flight crew member and can log it. P3 sounds right to me...

Close timing.
*Cough* Looks like we discovered my error at about the same time. Deepest apologies.

I would have thought that the pilot converting onto type should log it as P3 (=Pu/t) and the supervising safety pilot as P2 ..... all imho.
In this I refer to CAA rules as used to be, don't know about JAROPS / FAR's.
Second point, I think on 3 crew long range ops, the P2 can only strictly speaking log time in seat, as indeed can the heavy captain (as P1), if carried. The only person who can log the total hours is the nominated P1.

The rules are as follows :
So No you cannot log any time spent sat on the jumpseat ( which is not a pilots seat ) as a safety pilot, observer, supernumery pilot, or anything else. The only exception (2.3.1) being that the designated commander of the aeroplane may log as pilot in command all the flight time. This includes rest taken on board.
Unless you have to take over the controls you are supernumerary and cannot log any flying time.
2 RECORDING OF FLIGHT TIMES
2.1 This subject refers to the recording of flight time for Flight Crew Licensing purposes only. Flight time recorded in order to comply with Article 72(3) of the Air Navigation Order 2000 (ANO) shall continue to be recorded in accordance with the operator’s approved Flight Time Limitation Scheme and Article 72(a) of the ANO.
2.2 Introduction
2.2.1 There appears to be some confusion over the recording of flight times when an aircraft crew consists of more than the required number of pilots i.e. a ‘heavy’ crew.
2.2.2 The rules on logging of flight time are laid down in JAR-FCL 1.080, but for clarification the following should apply.
2.3 Pilot in Command
2.3.1 The designated commander of the aeroplane may log as pilot in command all the flight time. This includes rest taken on board.
2.4 Co-Pilot
2.4.1 The designated co-pilot of the aeroplane may log as co-pilot all the time he acts as co-pilot whilst sitting in a pilot’s seat.2.4.2 He may log as Pilot In Command Under Supervision (PICUS) all the time he occupies a pilot’s seat and acts as pilot in command under the supervision of the pilot in command or a cruise relief pilot substituting for the pilot in command.
2.4.3 He may also log as pilot in command all the time he is acting as pilot in command and substituting for the designated commander of the aircraft when he is taking rest.
2.4.4 He may not log as flight time any periods during which he does not occupy a pilot’s seat.

2.5 Cruise Relief Pilot
2.5.1 A cruise relief pilot may log as pilot in command all the time he occupies a pilot’s seat as relief for the designated commander.
2.5.2 He may log as co-pilot all the time he occupies a pilot’s seat as relief for the co-pilot.
2.5.3 He may log as PICUS all the time he occupies a pilot’s seat and acts as pilot in command under the supervision of the designated commander or his relief.
2.5.4 He may not log as flight time any periods during which he does not occupy a pilot’s seat.

It seems to me that the safety pilot is, in fact, P2 and part of the minimum legal crew. Use this test - can the flight legally depart without him? Answer no, then he can log the time as P2.

You CANNOT log jump seat time as P2. How ever under JAR-FCL 1.080 and associated IEM you can and should log it as supernumary crew. Whilst being Line Checked, the Line Checker is in Command and as such can log P1. For the Captain and F/O it is logged as PICUS and PICUS when flying their respective sectors, but when it is the Captains sector the F/O logs P2.
To recap P2/Co-Pilot time CAN ONLY BE LOG when, and I quote " Occupying a pilots seat". By the way the ANO is now at 2005 not 2000 as previously quoted above, and may have changed.

In addition ANO 50.3 states that if the aircraft is engaged in a public transport passenger flight the commander must remain at the controls for take-off and landing.

NO. The Line Checker is in command of the aircraft. He/She can issue commands that you as Captain must comply with even if they are in the jumpseat. Check JAR and ANO 2005.

Yes - as you are required to be on the flightdeck. The time spent as safety pilot counts to all hours limits as well.

I don't think so, on all the line checks that I have had it is made very clear by the checker that they are observing the operation and not taking part in the flight, I sign the aircraft papers and am legally in command.
In addition ANO 50.3 states that if the aircraft is engaged in a public transport passenger flight the commander must remain at the controls for take-off and landing.
