What can be logged as Pilot in Command time when currency has lasped resulting in a BFR?
Asked by: Frank A Loy 11620 views Flight Instructor
Due to circumstances I went for 4.5 years without flying. I hold a Private Pilot Airplane Single Engine Land instrument certificate and a private glider certficate. I started back flying with my first course of action to get a BFR. This was accomplished yesterday. I am now working towards my Commercial certificate.
My CFI said that the time flying the BFR entered into my log book could not be counted as PIC time for me as the time could not be both dual and PIC. Since he was the instructor doing the BFR he was responsible for the flight ( he gets to log it as PIC I quess). Is this true?
I have other BFR entries from previous instructors in which they entered the time flown as both dual and PIC for me. One difference in the previous BFR's is they were all conducted before the 2 years ran out so technically I had not lost my flying privileges yet. If my current instructor is correct is this because I actually lost my pilot privileges due to the BFR not being current?
I want my log book to reflect all flight time correctly and now I am concerned that if my current instructor is right without respect to actually loosing my pilot privileges I have many other BFR entries that are incorrect.
Thanks-
