Oh, but it is not legal. 61.129(b)(4) makes an
exception to the 10 hours solo requirement and allows an instructor to be on board while making the exception to the rule. 61.129 does not make it PIC. It does not make any exception to FAR 61.51(e) which is
The Only FAR that governs
logging PIC.
Like the 50 hours sim time that can be used to get to the 250 hours for the commercial. Using that time in a sim to meet commercial hour requirements does not make it flight time. You still have 200 hours flight time and 50 hours sim time. The sim time is used
in leu of the remaining 50 hours flight time.
In 61.129(b)(4) the flight instructor on board is used
in leu of actual solo time, and the FAA is accepting that, but it is not logged as PIC.
My comment was meant to point out how often I see and hear "authoritative knowledge" with no written back-up. That's the main bugger in the way we are always contradicting each other..."He said/She said/I said/They said"...doesn't matter what anybody
Said...Where is it in writing???
