We are all familiar with Part 61.51(e)(i):
"(i) When the pilot is the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated, or has sport pilot privileges for that category and class of aircraft, if the aircraft class rating is appropriate;"
Part 61.51(e)(iii) also sates:
"(iii) When the pilot, except for a holder of a sport or recreational pilot certificate, acts as pilot in command of an aircraft for which more than one pilot is required under the type certification of the aircraft or the regulations under which the flight is conducted;"
The aircraft flown is not type certified, but two pilots are required "under the regulations under which the flight is conducted." Could PIC time be logged both when you are the assigned PIC regardless of control manipulation per part 61.51(e)(iii) and when not assigned PIC but sole manipulator of the controls per part 61.51(e)(i)? Essentially making only the time not assigned PIC and not manipulating controls SIC? Or is it a one or the other situation?
