Let a friend fly the plane. Legal?

A pilot with a certificate, other than a student pilot
certificate, may carry passengers. A student pilot may not
carry passengers, they must fly dual or solo.
But if a pilot wants, they may allow any person to handle
the controls, but then neither may log that time.

He should be aware that the insurance company object and he
should be careful about conditions.
