OK, that's not entirely correct based on the latest FARs. If the 310 is operating for hire, as in photo work, the SIC can be logged because it requires a 2 man operating crew, you can log SIC but not PIC. SIC on a normal flight is at discrection. If you hold a multi rating and share the flying duties then it's between you and the PIC who logs what time in what role.
