So that means my seven year old daughter can't log PIC time for the
last XC trip we took to Columbia, CA? ;-)

I took off and landed, but she held the controls, on a trimmed
airplane... I guess that also means that since I did not manipulate
the controls during the enroute phase of the flight, I can't log PIC
time either??? Man... that's gonnna really screw up my logbook! ;-)

Serioiusly though... What about that? How many times do we take a
non-pilot friend flying and let them fly the plane? How are the regs
supposed to be interpreted in that case? This grey area seems to get
broader and broader!

Best Regards,
Todd
