Pilot in Command
The PIC is, by Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), responsible for the safe operation of the flight (FAR 1.1, 91.3).

Second in Command
Second in command (SIC) flight time is a category some pilots find elusive. By regulation, many turbojet and transport category aircraft require two pilots - a PIC and SIC. If you are qualified and sitting in the right seat while flying one of these aircraft, it's appropriate to ink that flight time in your logbook's SIC column. Even if you’re flying a two- or four-seat trainer certificated for single-pilot operations, you can sometimes log right seat-time as SIC. For example, if you’re flyin...

Dec 27, 2021 · According to the FAA, CFR § 1.1 has a specific definition for flight time for pilots. Pilot time, or the flight time relevant for a pilot, commences when the aircraft first moves under its own power when the intention is to attain flight. It ends when the aircraft comes to a rest after landing. At first glance, this seems pretty clear-cut.
