PICUS time towards Licence Issue
Quick question:
Can the JAA recognise PICUS flying for an FAA Part 91 company as long as everything is signed?
When I say FAA Part 91 Company, I'm talking flying single pilot operations in the Rhs logging PICUS.
Let me know thanks.

It sounds as though you're trying to claim time for 'co-pilot' PICU/S time in an aeroplane which is certified for single pilot operations?
In which case the answer to your question is probably no.
See LASORS2008:
Pilot logbooks must be kept in accordance with the
provisions of the UK ANO currently in force and should
also conform to JAR-FCL (IEM FCL 1.080/2.080 refers).
It should be noted that the practices of logging details of
flight time towards the grant of a UK issued flight crew
licence or rating, shall always be based on the rules for
the recording of pilot function applicable in the UK.
Also, see the following note regarding co-pilot time (my bold emphasis):
A pilot claiming time spent as co-pilot performing
the duties and functions of pilot-in-command, under
the supervision of the pilot-in-command, toward
meeting the licence requirements as given in Case
B, will be credited with that flight time only if:
a. the flight was conducted in an aircraft having a
Certificate of Airworthiness that requires its flight
crews to include not less than two pilots;
b. he was responsible for checking the accuracy of
the flight plan, load sheet and fuel calculations for
the flight;
c. he ensured that all crew checks were carried
out in accordance with the laid down operation
procedures;
d. throughout the flight he carried out all the duties
and functions of pilot-in-command and conducted
the take-off and the landing;
e. he resolved all meteorological, communication
and air traffic control problems;
f. the pilot-in-command did not have to overrule
any course of action proposed or taken by the
co-pilot;
g. the pilot-in-command certifies in the co-pilot’s
flying log book against the entry for that flight
that it was carried out by the co-pilot acting as
pilot-in-command under supervision. Such
certification will be taken as confirming that all
the foregoing conditions were met.
