Then just wait for a cloudy day--that's perfectly legal if the pilot is
rated.


And current. But then why would they bother with a safety pilot at all?

I think that was thte point. There's no "safety pilot" requirement in
actual.

See my reply to Ron though...I don't see why an instructor without a current
medical could not provide instrument training, even when the instructor
needs to be acting as the safety pilot as well. The usual caveats would
apply, of course -- the pilot receiving training would need to be able to
act as PIC -- but otherwise, I don't see the problem.

The problem is 61.27 requires required crew members to have a medical
(even instructors).
