So, the real question here is whether or not NW_PILOT is intending to
pursue another
rating or certificate and intends to use this time as part of the time
necessary to
fulfill the requirements for that rating.

Hmmm...well, I see what you mean. But I'm not sure the FAA bothers to make
that distinction. That is, I believe that they say that logged time is
compensation, whether or not you ever intend to use it for another rating.

If you don't even log the time, then yes...I'd agree that even the FAA would
be hard-pressed to find a "compensation" facet to the operation.
