Logging SIC time
Dmitry,
You might want to double check with the person who told you that the time could be logged.
You can log SIC time if the aircraft is certificated for dual pilot ops, but if the aircraft is certificated for single pilot ops, you can only log it if you are typed on the aircraft (if required) and you are the only pilot manipulating the controls (logged as PIC and the other pilot doesn't log it) or if the other pilot is an MEI (logged as dual received and as PIC if you don't need a type or as SIC if you do need a type).
You may have to answer some questions about how things were logged later, just be ready with a valid answer. As far as the comment about logging the time because the aircraft has dual instruments, never heard that rule before.
Good luck. You seem eager, that will carry you far in this industry. Stay positive. This is a great life!

Well one of the Otter FOs told me that as long as the Otter has all the instruement the Capt panel has, then you can log it as SIC - those otters can be flown single pilot, they do 2 pilots for insureance purposes.
