On what basis did the the FSDO say the safety pilot couldn't log PIC
despite the fact that FAR 61.51(e)(iii) says he can log PIC and the
FAA Chief Council has previously confirmed that?

Robert, ya gotta be careful with this stuff. I can remember an Embry
Riddle buddy (We used to call them Riddlers) who told me they used to
put 4 guys in a Seminole (Nevermind what we used to call those ) and
EACH one of them logged the time as PIC. Riddle actually came up with
an interpritation that supported this !! As for the Long Beach FISDO,
I cant recall what the basis was exactly , but they were ask for an
interpritaion and they gave one. When the FAA first went online years
ago they had a section where they fielded questions on interpritaions
and the logging of flight time always had the most questions. Heres
the way I like to think of it; For every flight you have A pilot. Im
kinda slow and I gotta keep things simple. I have heard just about
every line there is for logging time.
