We were talking about rated pilots. Are you a CFI for MEL? If yes, she could have logged PIC time. If no, then not because you can not act as a CFI, therefore the stick time is useless for her.
If you are flying along in a helicopter and you are not rated for helicopters (but anything else like hot air ballon) and the flying pilot is not a CFI Rotorcraft acting as an instructor, then you can manipulate whatever you want as long as you like, you can not log PIC.
Yup, the FARs are sometimes as complicated as JAR. And sometimes the FAA has a completely different view then you.
The difference to JAR is, that you can log PIC when an Instructor is on bord acting as one and you are allready a rated pilot in that category (or class?) of aircraft. Otherwise no PIC.
