... achieve them with another PPL holder who is current, though without a formal flight record in your logbook it ...
Your PPL mate books the aircraft out and in (airfield is in the paper trail).
He logs the flight as PIC, but minus the TOLs you did, (his logbook is in the paper trail).
You log the TOLs you did, (your logbook is in the paper trail).
If all the entries are true, what's the problem?
Because in a single-crew aircraft he would be a passenger. You might be sitting in a seat when the POH says that PIC sits in the x seat.
The original point was that someone does a couple of hours in 60 days. To be current under club rules it is TOLs that count, not hours. The simplest thing is whenever you fly do 3 landings and take-offs.
That way you'll keep legal and current. If you do a fly-away, that'll be one landing, so do a touch and go on the return, or do a triangular flight.
How hard is that?
