A GA pilot's worst nightmare?

Or, every bugsmasher pilot's secret fantasy...

I just saw this little snippet about the Continental flight whose
pilot became incapacitated. This is the first I'd read about a
passenger taking the right seat. I guess TSA/FAA's secured flight deck
rules go out the window in such a situation?

The 757's flaring height must have looked close to pattern altitude to
a 182 pilot... Do you think Stephen Brown could petition the FAA
Commish to allow him to log the time as SIC?

Definitely the secret fantasy category for me, but I definitely don't
want the opportunity to come at the expense of another pilot as in this
case.

I believe that an ATP (such as FO, who was acting as PIC in this
instance) can give instruction in air carrier operations - and
therefore, the FO could sign his log book as dual received.

Just how I feel. I want to land it.

IIRC, the ATP must be rated in the -757 to be able to sign off instruction.
The -182 wouldn't need a sign-off if he is MEL rated. Logging SIC time is
not the same as acting as SIC.

Certainly mine...

Do you think Stephen Brown could petition the FAA
Commish to allow him to log the time as SIC?

Or will the FAA take action against him for operating an aircraft for which
he is not properly rated?

Was he acting as a required copilot, or just following instructions to
provide an extra set of hands for the pilot?

It sounds like he just talked on the radio, read checklists, and
handled the few things that the pilot couldn't readily do himself,
such as setting flaps and lowering gear (awkward from the left seat).

If they did it would hand FAA enemies a load of political ammunition. I
presume though that this is covered by section 91.3(b):

"In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command
may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that
emergency."
