Three hours later, these pilots land and go into the office to fill out their logbooks.
If I have understood the message of this thread, here's what has to happen by the regs. Since John Smith was not the _sole_ manipulator of the controls for most of this flight (both pilots having pressed the autopilot buttons governing different axes of flight control), John logs as PIC time only those minutes he spent during the departure and arrival phases of flight.
Or, have I missed something? | All I am going to say is that a Navajo isn't a 2 man crew. Now, I will let the others have a go at this one. If this were true scArebus pilots could only log about .2 for each flight. HEHE
