Let's say me (an IFR-rated and current pilot) and a friend (an IFR-rated but NOT CURRENT pilot) wanted to file and go up together in actual IMC (no hood or foggles). I want him to do most of the flying just so he can have fun in the clouds. Neither of us are CFIs/CFIIs
Would he be able to log instrument time, even though he isn't IFR current? I assume we both can't log instrument time at the same time. It has to be one or other? Also, would he be able to log an approach for his currency (assuming he breaks out the clouds after the FAF)?
I also believe that I wouldn't be able act a safety pilot in actual IMC, but would my friend still be able to log PIC time in IMC since he is the sole manipulator of the controls even though he isn't current?
I do understand that as the only current IFR pilot, I am legally the sole acting PIC of the flight. I'm just asking about how to log the time.
