HI,

 

How do you log PICUS (PIC under seupervision) on your logbook is it the same as PIC and DUAL and can you cant PICUS toward your ATP license?

Flying with a training captain and not a CFI and the airplane does not require SIC so your not logging SIC time.

Thanks

    If the aircraft you are flying is not type certificated for two pilots then you can only log the time you are the sole manipulator of the controls provided you are appropriately rated.

    If the training flight is 1.0 hrs in duration and each pilot flies for 0.5hrs. Each pilot will only log 0.5 hrs of PIC, total time, etcetera. 1.0 hrs should not be anywhere in the logbook except maybe in the comments/note section to clarify the time. See FAR 61.51 for reference.

    Dual received is only for a flight instructor.

    This answer is for Part 91 operations only. Part 135 operations have different rules.

    There is no such thing as PICUS.

    There is a provision in 61.51(e)(iv) for logging PIC while under the supervision of a qualified PIC. There are several conditions which must be met. You need to already have at least a Commercial pilot certificate with appropriate category & class. You also need to be undergoing an approved PIC training program. Training programs are approved for air carriers, not Part 61 or 141 schools. In order to take advantage of this option, you would need to be an employee of the air carrier.
