My question was actually what to put in the "flight duration" or "total
flight time" field of your logbook, if anything. For example, I have a
friend who wants to start his instrument rating. I want to fly with
him between his CFI lessons to let him practice and give tips. If I
can log "flight time" along with the "PIC" (when he's under the hood)
to get time towards a higher rating, that would be great. Should the
"flight time" be equal to the PIC (him under the hood)?

I think the FAA or AOPA should come out with a quick reference card for
this sort of thing!
