that depends on the aircraft registration and type
true the hours cannot be logged if one is flying as tourist/passenger.
As per CAA or DGCA or JAA, PIC hours are the hours where the person is the sole manipulator of the controls and is in command of the aircraft. The safety pilot cannot log hours.
However, the aircrafts registration or from the authority has a requirement for two pilots in that case one logs P1(pic hours) and the second pilot as P2 only.
I was thinking, as per my case, we fly 2 hours for two legs of flight, one leg is logged p2=1 hours, and the second leg as p1=1 hour, however the total time is still 2 hours.
So i thought if that is the same case as here in FAA, but seems that is not true.
