Well said Whopity!
Training for the purpose of Art 80 requires an instructor rating. Training for other purposes such as type conversions, familiarization with new or difficult airports, checkouts to meet the needs of individual operators' or owners' (or their insurance companies') wishes etc etc does not require an instructor rating but should be recorded as Whopity says. Both pilots are members of the operating crew as per the previous discussion about the difference between minimum crew for certification and the actual crew designated for a particular flight.
Don't expect it to count as dual training for the purpose of Art 80 however!
We had a couple of non instructor rated check pilots in my flying club who were authorized to do club check flights with other members. It was clearly stated in the club Ops Manual that on these flights the check pilot would be the aircraft commander and the pilot under check would be dual, perfectly leagal. The only reason we don't do it anymore is because both these individuals now hold CRI ratings and are therefore instructors!
Happy landings
