Here's a variation on something that's been beaten to death:
Situation - pilot 1's BFR ran out 2 months ago. Friend (Pilot 2)
comes to visit and wants to go flying. It's Pilot 1's airplane (high
wing) and he doesn't feel comfortable letting (low winger) Pilot 2 fly
it so he does. Pilot 2 is "PIC" but Pilot 1 is sole manipulator of
the controls. Who and how is time logged?

As far as the actual logging goes, only Pilot 1 may log the flight,
assuming Pilot 2 is not an instructor. For a run-of-the-mill Private
Pilot to log the time while acting as PIC but not manipulating the
controls, there would need to be some requirement for two pilots, and
there is not in this case.

I agree with Peter that pilot 1 shouldn't ask pilot 2 to be PIC if #1
doesn't trust #2 to fly. Can #1 log this at all since he's not current or
just log it as non-PIC? Personally, I wouldn't log the flight for either
pilot 1 or 2.

Does a flight have to be logged by a pilot?
