In this case BOTH occupants are logging PIC ALL the time, in which I disagree, and I think is what the CAA man disagreed to as well,
Helipilot1982 wasn't receiving instruction. He was qualified to fly the aircraft.
(And the other pilot wasn't an instructor.)
Whether or not the other pilot logs the hours doesn't alter the fact that Helipilot1982 was flying - yet the CAA man said his hours don't count.
Does that seem sensible to you?
