Englishal, where does "sole manipulator of the controls" come from?
Are you confusing PF and PIC?
I see no reference to sole manipulator of the controls in the ANO section as follows:
“Pilot to remain at controls and be secured in seat
93[snip]
(2) The commander of an aircraft to which this article applies must cause one pilot to remain at the
controls at all times while it is in flight.”
