Part-FCL’s ATPL(A) command-experience requirement (FCL.510.A(b)(2)) isn’t
one simple hour count. It offers three alternative routes to the PIC
pillar, easy to misread by hand. Jetlog’s ATPL progress tracker shows all
three as separate bars, states which one you’re closest to completing, and
highlights it:
- 500 h PICUS: pilot-in-command-under-supervision hours on their own, with a higher target because PICUS time carries less weight than PIC time under Part-FCL.
- 250 h as PIC: a straight command-time count. “As PIC” includes SPIC (supervised PIC), which counts as PIC under FCL.050.
- 250 h incl. ≥70 h as PIC: a mixed route, the rest made up with PICUS. This route stays locked on the tracker until you’ve logged at least 70 hours as PIC.
PICUS time only counts toward these routes when the commander has countersigned it (AMC1 FCL.050).
The cruise-relief co-pilot (CRCP) credit cap
This is a different rule from the PIC pillar above. Cruise-relief co-pilot
time counts toward your overall 1,500-hour ATPL total and the 500-hour
multi-pilot requirement, but only up to 250 hours of credit
(FCL.510.A(c)(3)). Cruise-relief time beyond that cap doesn’t add to
those totals. The tracker applies this cap automatically rather than
counting every cruise-relief hour at face value.
Only completed flights count
The tracker only counts flights marked complete, since a scheduled or in-progress entry doesn’t add to your bars until it’s actually flown and confirmed. If a flight’s Live Activity finished without you tapping Complete, it sits on the Complete Flights list until you finish it; see Live Activities on your lock screen.
Getting an accurate picture
Progress is only as good as the flights behind it. If you’re bringing in history from another logbook or from paper, get it in first via Importing from another logbook or AI logbook scanning, then check the tracker.
