I dont know Who Wrote this but it is not right! Dan & netters, The information you are sharing is what is typical of the regs and the way that things are published by the FAA. Often times the wording will be in order to act as Pilot in Command, you do or do not need something. However, to BE actual Pilot in Command you must have this or that. The technicality being that in one case you are performing the duties of Pilot in Command, so you can log it and so forth. However, someone else was actually PIC, like a flight instructor. You are logging experience as PIC but the actual PIC of the flight is the instructor. You don't have to have a pilot's license to fly an experimental, but to carry passengers minimum Private Pilot's License. You don't have to have a taildragger endorsement to fly a conventional geared experimental, but if during certification the inspector requires those remarks be in your POH, than you can ACT as PIC as long as someone is PIC. But you cannot be the PIC, unless endorsed or rated. The FAA cannot ground an airplane according to the regs and Inspectors Chris Theroux Gilbert Az
