If I'm understanding Florida correctly, I disagree.

IMO PIC for the purpose of meeting Part 61 requirements for certificates, ratings and currency always means =logged= PIC under 61.51, not =acting= PIC.

For example, the instrument requirement for "50 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot in command" means 50 hours of cross country during which you =logged= PIC. Same for the landings.

In terms of continuing to log solo after getting your private, note that the commercial pilot requirements in 61.129 include a solo component and, if you accept the validity of the defunct Part 61 FAQ, this does not include your student pilot solo time. I actually know of one guy who was given a very hard time because he was not able to point to 10 hours in his logbook identified as "solo."
