Holy hell. This is why I stopped coming to this site. Ryanb, your posts never once referenced the regulations. I suppose I should have worded my question a little differently to read "What regs allow or disallow logging of this flight time? and if loggable, in what way may I log it?" I had...

The reason for this post is to make sure it's legitimate. I'm perfectly happy with not logging it. Thanks

I've been told, and my reason for this post is to verify that, since it's a typed aircraft and the supervising pilot is an ATP the time is loggable.

Thank you for that. Makes sense.

No, of course not. I don't care so much about the PIC as I do just being able to log the time. It's valuable and expensive experience. The goal of my aviation "career" at this time is part time CFI and charter pilot since I have a good career already. I was hoping to be able to reference...

Isn't it A or B or C (with the referenced AND at the end of C2). Perhaps I need a lesson on reading the regs.

That was my initial take on it as well until I reviewed 61.51. Because the aircraft requires a type rating, and the other pilot is an ATP / CFI, I believe c(2) and d apply.

EDIT: My question has been answered. The answer is NO. Thank you mjburian for actually referencing regulations. There's special circumstances that apply to type-rating required aircraft regarding training, but only under 121 or 135 operations. And that specific part was the purpose for...

I've landed at Anoka and Crystal.. just north of MSP. Both great airports only 15 minutes to downtown by car.

Good point, thanks! All 3 of the routes I'm considering have the furthest airport more than 50nm away.

That's what I figured. Thanks!

The way I read the regs it sounds like it doesn't specifically say you need to go to 3 different airports, only that you need to do 3 different types of approaches, and one an approach at each airport. So, no more than one at an airport so 2 airports (2 approaches is rules out by the "An...

I want diesels setup to burn Jet-A! I'm thinking I'd like to build an RV-10 around one but so far I haven't found an engine that I think fits. the turboprops are just too damn expensive and are too thirsty.

My last PPL student XC was to Portage, WI. I did a low approach because, well I was a student and didn't get setup for landing early enough, when I came around again I landed and all was well. Started to taxi back and deer crossed behind me. I taxied to them and ran the engine up a bit to...
