Saftey Pilot
My DE looked at my logbook and saw I had PIC time when I was acting as a safety pilot and when I was flying with a safety pilot. He asked me what you have to do to log PIC. You have to be the one manipulating the controls. So in other words the safety pilot can't log PIC. Then if you think about it you can't really log SIC because a piper warrior doesn't require a second pilot. Then he explains that when you go under the hood your flight then does require a second pilot so that the correct way to log it is SIC for the safety pilot. I've look at the FAR's and it doesn't really seem to straight forward but this was his take on it. I figure the guy giving me my tickets can't be wrong. If in doubt call the FSDO.
