There is no regulatory requirement that you be able to act as PIC in order to log PIC under any circumstances. [...(^-1)] A strict reading of these two [quoted below] regulations would indicate that a private pilot holding a certificated for single engine land airplanes may log PIC for the time he is acting as safety pilot in a complex or high performance airplane whether he is signed off for those airplanes or not. In this case, I think not. (e) Logging pilot-in-command flight time. (1) A recreational, private, or commercial pilot may log pilot-in- command time only for that flight time during which that person -- (i) Is the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated; Well, this doesn't apply to a safety pilot, unless the flight is already going badly. (ii) Is the sole occupant of the aircraft; or Doesn't apply to a safety pilot. I'll let you figure out why. (iii) Except for a recreational pilot, is acting as pilot in command of an aircraft on which more than one pilot is required under the type certification of the aircraft or the regulations under which the flight is conducted. So we're left with this. In this case the safety pilot must be able to act as PIC. He or she can't do this unless they have the endorsements appropriate to the aircraft (i.e. if high performance, tailwheel, or whatever). So, you can't log PIC as a safety pilot unless you ARE PIC, and have the (necessary) endorsements to act as PIC. Jose (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
