you can only log the time as acting PIC when either your hands are on the
controls, or you are acting as safety pilot while he is under the hood.. any
other time is not loggable..


If you are really a safety pilot (he's under the hood and you are responsible
for aluminum and granite), then if you are ALSO acting as PIC you can log PIC
time. The other pilot can also log PIC time as "sole manipulator" even though
he's not acting as PIC.

However, if the safety pilot is NOT ACTING as PIC (and not the final authority
as to the operation of the aircraft), then he cannot log PIC. (If he is the
sole manipulator of the controls too, he's not the safety pilot, he's the real
pilot). However, he can log SIC time as a required crewmember.
