FAR:Safety Pilot & High Performance/Complex?

"Jim" wrote in message ...
It is my understanding (always subject to correction) that as a safety pilot
you may log PIC time because you are indeed a required crew member for the
operation. However, to log PIC time you also must be qualified to act as
PIC of that particular aircraft.

Well you could log SIC, but to log PIC but must **BE** pilot in
command, not just qualified. To log SIC you only need cat/class/type
if required.

And the aircraft has to require two pilots.

Not the aircraft, just the flight operation. Simulated instrument flight
with a safety pilot = two pilots even if it's in a C150. The safety pilots
certification, ratings, currency, and endorsements determine his ability to
log PIC vs SIC.

Or the regulation requires more than one crew.

"is acting as pilot in command of an^M
aircraft on which more than one pilot is required under the type^M
certification of the aircraft or the regulations under which the
flight is^M
conducted.^M"

So "regulation" in this case includes hood (regulations require
mutliple crews for a hood) and part 135 IFR with pax.

So in a CitationJet/CJ1/CJ2/Bravo that only requires one pilot, but
typically has two, the co-pilot is just going along for the ride?
