Hours on CV - my airline logs 50% time for Heavy crew
First of all, Mods - very sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Secondly, regarding hours on the CV. My airline only logs half flight time for 4 crew ops and two thirds for 3 crew ops and I'll only be signed off for this in my logbook. So a 14 hour flight would only log 7 hours (time in the seat) on a 4 crew trip.
Which hours should I show on a CV? Total flight time or what the airline will sign me off for?
Thanks in advance!

You should log the time when you are either the pilot flying or the pilot monitoring whilst actually operating from one of the pilot seats when you are fulfilling that role. Supernumerary, jumpseat monitoring, or resting doesn't fulfill either the P1 or P2 roles and shouldn't normally be logged as such.

MMMMMM not quite true
Not quite true. Depends if the crew has Two Captains and one First officer or one Captain and two first officers
My airline use 2 copilots and one captain for augmented crew, so the captain (commander) is responsible for the flight even when he is sleeping

For us it is as above - it's seat time only that is logged for licencing/upgrade purposes, the one exception being that the designated commander logs the lot. If it a 4 pilot trip the heavy captain only gets to log seat time.
Yup, I wasn't perhaps that clear about that - we have to also log somewhere (e.g. Spare log book column ) total flight time for FTL purposes.....possibly not a universal rule though.

Thanks for the help. Its definitely not universal. We log seat time and seat time counts for the 100 in 28 and 900. So technically we could do 1800 hours a year in the aeroplane - 900 in the bunk and 900 in the seat and it would be legal!

You log the hours as per the law that you are flying under. So if in this case you can only log 50% that's what you log, any other hours claimed is pure and simple fraud. As long as that is what the legal hours required by your state of work you can not legally claim more, regardless of your nationality or you next employers rules. Once you fly under a different states laws you may log differently. How we all feel about that and the fatigue issues is a different argument.

If the a/c can not fly the mission without you, and you need to account for FTL with these same hours, log the hours, you are a "required" crew member. Companies can use what-ever fences they want for upgrades etc. Of course the appropriate column in your logbook, PIC P2 etc, but defo total time!

In my outfit (major EU carrier) block time is logged as flight-time, also sim events. No reduction on bunk time.

pedalpedal, I agree with you, unfortunately many companies will not certify time in bunk or rest time with augmented crew. I understand its your logbook and you can self certify and put whatever you want in it however to get any type of certificate or documentation for flight hours, the companies will only publish in seat time and there will be a discrepancy with your logbook!

CAP 804 section 1 part E.10
'Heavy' Crew
When an aircraft crew consists of more than the required number of pilots (i.e. a 'heavy' crew) the rules for logging of flight time are as per Part-FCL.050, but for clarification the following should apply:
10.1 Pilot in Command
The designated commander of the aeroplane may log as pilot in command all the flight time. This includes rest taken on board.
10.2 Co-Pilot
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.
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 pilot in command or a cruise relief pilot substituting for the pilot in command.
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.
He may not log as flight time any period s during which he does not occupy a pilot's seat.
