Part-FCL’s ATPL(A) command-experience requirement (FCL.510.A) isn’t one simple hour count. It’s three separate qualifying routes, easy to misread by hand. Jetlog’s ATPL progress tracker shows all three as separate bars, so you can see which one you’re actually closest to satisfying:

  • PIC hours: a straight pilot-in-command hour count, target 250 hours.
  • PICUS-only route: pilot-in-command-under-supervision hours count toward this route on their own, with a higher target of 500 hours, reflecting that PICUS time carries less weight than PIC time under Part-FCL.
  • Cruise-relief co-pilot (CRCP) route: co-pilot cruise-relief time can count, but it’s capped at 250 hours of credit, so this route can’t read “met” earlier than the rule allows.

PICUS credit

PICUS hours are credited according to Part-FCL, not just copied from your logged PIC-equivalent time. The tracker applies PIC and PICUS separately, each to the route it qualifies for.

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 with a pending “Complete” prompt, finish that first; see Live Activities on your lock screen.

This is a progress tracker, not a legal determination of licence eligibility. Always confirm your actual command-experience total against your training organisation or authority before relying on it for a licence application.

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.
