My understanding of a *safety pilot* goes like this:
He needn't be an instructor, nor need he necessarily be more experienced than the PI he is providing *safety cover* (whatever that is ) for.
However, someone with both the above IMHO would be a better safety pilot than one without these attributes.
At preflight checks he would indulge in a
little CRM/MCC and say something to P1 to the effect that we're here to have a fine flight which for various reasons we have elected to have me here in an overseeing capacity.
Enjoy your self, but if I see you doing anything dodgy or dangerous and do not correct yourself after a brief interjection from me I will say *I have control and YOU WILL RELINQUISH CONTROL TO ME* , aand then we will do a swift 180 and get the hell out of this s*dding ice.
