According to this interpretation, the co-pilot and the flight engineer should be loggin PIC time, because the regulations state they are required crew members. From my understanding of things, this is not the case: they log something other than PIC time, beacuse they are NOT pilot-in-command. Am I incorrect? I'd be VERY leary about logging PIC time for safety-pilot time. Personally, I log it as SIC time, note who the hooded pilot was. -- Alan M.
