you can only log the time as acting PIC when either your hands are on the
controls, or you are acting as safety pilot while he is under the hood.. any
other time is not loggable..

but to act as safety pilot for someone under the hood.. you have to hold at
least a private pilot certificate and be qualified to fly the aircraft

some will state, that if it is a complex aircraft, you need the complex
endorsement, same for high performance, or tail dragger

I recently helped a friend fly to St. Augustine from Orlando.
My question is: Can or should you log the time as safety pilot?
Although I did not actually fly the aircraft, I did handle the radios and
visual guide while my friend flew under the hood.
