As for the who's responsible...I don't know. If I'm certified to fly the aircraft, and am sole manipulator of the controls, I'm in charge as far as I'm concerned, unless some prior agreement has been made. (As it would work in the Captain/FO world?)
I smell an Acting vs Logging PIC debate.
gkranger,
You designate yourself? I bet if you asked the CFI, he/she whould say different. As for responsibility in an accident or incident I believe there is case law already on that. I look around for some NTSB or FAA ruling and get back with you. There should be no debate on Acting vs. Logging if you are acting as then you can log as. If you are not, then you cannot. You don't loose any Total time it is a matter of PIC /Dual received/SIC should equal Total. Period.
