You only quoted part of his post. “...as long as I teach him something.”
Please quote the FAA regulation that puts a limit on not being able to log instruction when it’s given. Won’t find one.
Again, I gobup with many friends in their airplanes. Sometimes we just go for the $100 hamburger, sometimes they ask me to teach them some things. Sometimes they just want an instructor along while they fly under the hood so I can coach and instruct them. Sometimes I just hang out and enjoy the view after getting the $100 hamburger.
When instruction takes place it is logged. When it isn’t I’m a passenger. Sometimes I just go up with them.
