And that may account for what - an hour or two - of instruction.
I get the feeling that the OP here would like to log every hour his is filling in the right seat as an hour of CFI and TT.
Plus - unless this 5,000 Cirrus guy is new to this aircraft (don't they have their own training program?) or has new/updated avionics installed that the OP has experience in - this still looks like padding.
Just not worth it for the few extra hours gained. Log it if you want it - just don't try to use it for anything job related.
