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?

Pilot 1 logs PIC as sole manipulator of the controls. Pilot 2 logs PIC
as a required crewmember acting as PIC. Pilot 2 could not log PIC if
pilot 1 was current because then pilot 2 would not be a required
crewmember. There is nothing in the regs that requires you to be
current in order to log PIC.

I agree with Peter Duniho that you should not ask a pilot you do not
trust to be PIC.

No one is required to log time if they do not wish -- some pilots do
not log any time at all; just keep the bare minimum records to ensure
that they are current.
