    Subject: Re: logging PIC time, was Almost an RV question.....
    From: mr.gsun@gmail.com
    So, if I am in a complex aircraft acting as PIC because I am the safety pilot, can I count that as some of the complex time needed for my commercial? Even though I am not checked out, nor insured to fly that aircraft? I am, however, current in my RV7 with a current class II medical.
