Safety pilot "flight time"

Sure, one to look and one is flying. The one flying can LOG
PIC, the one looking can log SIC unless they are a CFI, in
which case they can log PIC w/o actually touching the
controls.

FAR 1.1
Pilot in command means the person who:

(1) Has final authority and responsibility for the operation
and safety of the flight;

(2) Has been designated as pilot in command before or during
the flight; and

(3) Holds the appropriate category, class, and type rating,
if appropriate, for the conduct of the flight.



has nothing to do with logging the time. It is quite
possible that nobody can log PIC on a flight, but every
flight will have somebody who will meet the FAR 1.1
responsibility for the flight.



Agree who is PIC, the decision maker (1), was assigned to be
PIC by the flight dispatcher (2) and do that in writing if
you don't want your widow to be homeless. But the FAA
LOGGING rules are different from the idea that you can
decide to allow the non-flying pilot to log PIC time.
