Agreed. As previously stated, instructional flights are a completely
different animal.

Instructional flights are different for the person NOT manipulating the
controls. The logging privilege for the person who IS manipulating the
controls remains the same.

The regulations (which CJ posted) are very simple, and very clear. If you
are rated in category and class, and you are the sole manipulator of the
controls, you may log the time as PIC, for that time during which you are
sole manipulator of the controls.

You are making the classic mistake of thinking that a pilot needs to be
acting as PIC in order to log the time as PIC. That's simply not true, and
the fact that the pilot flying isn't qualified to act as PIC in no way
prevents them from logging the time as PIC.
