The hooded pilot logs pic as the sole manipulator, the safety logs as the final
"final authority" to aircraft operation....until the hood is taken out of the story. PIC duties must be deligated, and can also change in flight.
When the hood id on, you loose the final authority to the s.p.
If this is your agreement, you both can log pic for the duration you are in simulated imc. |
I agree with what you're saying...sort of. The one sentence that throws the monkey wrench in the works is: "When the hood id on, you loose the final authority to the s.p.". This is only correct if you have both agreed that the safety pilot is going to be the PIC. Otherwise the pilot at the controls remains PIC. I know that you understand and agree with this because of what you say in your next sentence, but the problem is the way that stand-alone sentence reads by itself (grammar and spelling notwithstanding irregardless).
Bottom line: the safety pilot can only log PIC
if the pilot flying and the safety pilot have agreed that the safety pilot is the final authority on the flight, before the fact. Minor point, maybe, until the bovine fecal matter hits the rotating air moving device.
