Cruise Flight:
Question From A Viewer: What If I Lied On My FAA Medical Application?
Correcting errors on your medical application
No formal process but updates are accepted and processed
Generally, no prosecution for falsifying if correct before the FAA discovers.
Good Ideas For Time Building.
PIC in the system.
Multi-engine SIC or PIC.
Flight Instruction
Instrument Instruction is preferred since this correlates well with the airlines.
Cargo flying for a reputable operator.
Time building with another pilot.
Some hours may be logged as a safety pilot.
Question from viewer: Do the airlines respect flight time as a safety pilot? I have quite a bit of safety pilot time. I know it’s all legal PIC time under 61.51 (e) and 91.109 (b)(c) but I don’t want to get looked at differently by a potential employer because I wasn’t necessarily the sole manipulator of the controls for every single hour of PIC time.
Bad Ideas for Time Building
Illegal Charters
FAA revocation, no insurance
Private planes that become illegal charters
pilots can still lose certificates.
Question from KZbin: In the last video you talk about if it’s not the owner it falls under that 135/121 veil. What about business-owned aircraft flying its associates but the official owner is not aboard the aircraft?
Aircraft Partnerships that become illegal charters
Right seat but not SIC Time
Know what you can log.
Aircraft doesn’t require pic. Professional pilot development.
Question:
Do pilots need to go to training now that the new A321 XLR is starting to fly?

Carl, i sent your explanation regarding Safety pilot time to my instructor and here is what he responded to; Safety pilot time is still not great time building at least for large portions. This guy is trying to sell a product. Remember as the airlines get more competitive the quality of your flight time will matter. It is confusing!!!!

[@AviationCareersPodcast]

Total flight time is a requirement to meet hiring minimums. Quality flight time is what employers prefer. For example, a pilot with 1000 flying as a pilot in command in a turbojet is more likely to get hired than a person who has 3000 flying a single-engine piston. Similarly, flying as PIC in actual instrument conditions is preferred over acting as a safety pilot. I hope this helps. If you or your instructor would like further help or a review of your logbook please reach out at: www.aviationcareerspodcast.com/coaching/

Carl can you speak more to the Part 91 operators that can offer SIC type rating? Specifically FAR 61.55?

[@AviationCareersPodcast]

Great topic for an upcoming video. There are many operators that offer 91 SIC-type ratings. I might have one on my show in the future.

[@SaxPilot525]

I’m a newly minted Instrument pilot. My logbook doesn’t have a column to specify if my VMC cross-country flights are “in the system”. Is this just something I specify in the comments for my flights?

[@AviationCareersPodcast]

By "flying in the system" I am referring to filing and flying under IFR in the Air Traffic Control System. I recommend a note in your comments such as "Filed IFR". Of course, log all the time you fly in actual instrument conditions. As you gain experience, you will realize most of the time you log will be VMC.
