Specific question about logging safety pilot time

[fussle]

I have searched previous threads, but have not found the answer to my specific question. I know that it is legal for both pilots to log PIC time, but only one may act as PIC. Since the safety pilot is designated to act as PIC for the flight, can he log the entire flight (including landings)? Or, does he have to subtract the time for taxi, takeoff, landing, etc. since the sole manipulator is not under simulated instrument conditions?

You can only log the time where the other pilot is under the hood.

Correct, no landings, cross country time or anything else but total flight time and PIC.

Example: 2.5 hr cross country flight with 3 landings and 2 practice approaches with the Pilot flying under the hood for 1.3 the safety pilot only gets to log.....drumroll......1.3

Legal advice is sometimes worth what you pay for it. Here is the link to the FAA Chief Lawyer Legal Interpitations. You can read examples of regulation interpitations AND have a reference to back up the answer to your question. All you need to do is spend some time and search.
