Once I flew with my friend in a Baron55.
She never took the controls of any airplane before.
Then I handed her the controls for a few minutes to get the feel.
She was then "sole manipulator of the controls".
What you are saying is: she can log PIC since she was sole manipulator of the controls, you cannot even though you were MEI and responsible for this flight?
