logging time

[midlifeflyer]

There is no prohibition against logging other kinds of time. right seat time. back seat time. other kinds of flight experience, ie. fire patrol observer, in-flight photo, bla-bla-bla.

You're absolutely right, nosehair. But I suspect that the question itself was referring to legitimately logging time toward a certificate, rating or currency rather than to keeping a scrapbook.

"Scrapbook"

And you are probably right; most people only log the kind of time referred to in FAA regs and what the Almighty Airlines want to see, however, my hope is that, maybe, just maybe, my post may turn on a small light to someone out there, that there is more to this business than "just business".

Don't think I saw this version... You, the flying pilot logs PIC due to the fact that you were flying... Your CFI friend can log the time if acted as a safety pilot during your trip. However, if you do this, make sure you make the appropriate entries in both of your log books to represent the fact that he was acting as your safety pilot...
