Bottom line is you can fly with a student as much as you want, but
YOU are the PIC. He can control the plane, and even practice any of the
student pilot stuff you feel comfortable being a "safety pilot" for. He
cannot log the time, but can still chock it up as a learning experience.
After all, it's not the 40 hours he needs to get his license, but the
appropriate level of competency that can sometimes take as few as 40
hours.
