| Dec 8 at 5:36 | comment | added | fjch1997 | @Chris Yes, only the instrument-rated pilot is the required flight crewmember. But both pilots meet the requirement for logging PIC time. | |
| Dec 4 at 6:27 | comment | added | Chris | @fjch1997 In IMC, the safety pilot is the only crewmember required by the regs. Under simulated instrument, a safety pilot can log PIC time under 61.51(e)(1)(iii), as regulation requires two crewmembers for simulated instrument flight. Regulation does not require two crewmembers for actual instrument flight, and so the safety pilot is out of luck for logging the time. | |

| Oct 26, 2018 at 4:41 | comment | added | fjch1997 | @egid That is not correct. If the instrument rated and current safety pilot acts as PIC and files IFR, both pilot can enter IMC logging PIC time. The safety pilot logs PIC because he is acting as PIC and is a required flight crew member. The IR student logs PIC time for being sole manipulator of control. And yes, anyone can be the sole manipulator of control under part 91 regardless of rating. | |

| Apr 8, 2016 at 20:28 | comment | added | abelenky | This question seems to suggest that the Safety Pilot does not need to be able to act as PIC. Is that Question/Answer incorrect? | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 19:27 | comment | added | egid | Sorry - I should clarify. As soon as the flight enters IMC, the non-instrument-rated pilot cannot act as sole manipulator or log PIC/instrument flight time. | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 19:24 | comment | added | egid | I actually don't think that's true. Got a link? | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 19:23 | comment | added | Lnafziger | @egid Not if the safety pilot is the PIC and instrument rated/current. | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 20:53 | comment | added | egid | It's important to note that the safety pilot permits flight in VMC only while the instrument trainee is under the hood. | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 20:12 | comment | added | Lnafziger | Regarding your last sentence, the instrument rated pilot must also be the PIC and not simply on board. | |
