Now that is interesting. I have been a safety pilot for a friend of mine
that has a single control Bo and I never gave it a thought.

No, you'd be violating 91.113(b).



"...vigilance shall be maintained" is somewhat subjective. One could
argue that most pilots bust that one on every flight. What if you pop
the hood up every 30 seconds?

Fortunately 91.109(b) requires no interpretaion whatsoever:

(b) No person may operate a civil aircraft in simulated instrument
flight unless-
(1) The other control seat is occupied by a safety pilot who possesses
at least a private pilot certificate with category and class ratings
appropriate to the aircraft being flown.

(2) The safety pilot has adequate vision forward and to each side of
the aircraft, or a competent observer in the aircraft adequately
supplements the vision of the safety pilot; and

(3) Except in the case of lighter-than-air aircraft, that aircraft is
equipped with fully functioning dual controls...


bummer for throwover-yoke Bo pilots
