Default Safety pilot "flight time"

FAR 1.1 does not and is not controlling for the PURPOSE of
logging flight time. Logging time is required only to show
compliance with some regulation for some certificate or
privilege. To that end, 61.51 is controlling. 61.51
requires manipulation of the controls to LOG PIC.

Perhaps you should either cite the legal counsel's letter or
re-read it.

| 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.
|
| As for the definition of PIC: In the situation I mentioned
before,
| the pilot not flying meets all three of the definitions
for Pilot
| in Command you have listed above.
