Shared time building option lets both pilots log PIC time under simulated instrument conditions.
Most pilots build the bulk of their time single-engine, because the rate is a fraction of a twin and the FAA total-time requirement does not care which engine count produced it. Multi-engine time is bought deliberately and in smaller quantities — enough to be competitive for a regional application, or enough to satisfy the specific requirements of a Commercial multi-engine add-on or an instructor position.
A common split is the great majority of the block single-engine with a focused twin block near the end, when your instrument and cross-country skills are already sharp and every twin hour is used efficiently rather than spent relearning basics at twice the cost.
Two qualified pilots can split the cost of a flight while each logging useful time, provided only one acts as pilot-in-command at a time and the logbook entries reflect reality. Handled correctly, shared flying nearly halves the cost per pilot on long cross-countries. Handled carelessly, it produces logbook entries that will not survive an airline audit — so we brief the rules before your first shared leg.
Two pilots can hold identical totals and be worlds apart on paper. Prioritise night time, actual instrument time, cross-countries over fifty nautical miles, and arrivals into Class B and Class C fields. Keep a running summary of those categories as you fly rather than reconstructing them the week an application opens.
