Not that easy. There's nothing that says you *cannot* log total time of any sort, FAA doesn't care what you put in your book, only how you use it WRT aeronautical experience or currency requirements.

Also for example safety pilot is not PIC, SIC, solo, or dual received (is a "required crewmember").

Also 61.57... lets say you have neither a complex or high-perf endorsement but your buddy does. But you both have an ASEL PPL and are both landing current. You both go up together in his centurion, and he lets you make three landings. Does that reset your ASEL landing currency?

Yup. He's PIC and you can be sole manipulator. You need endorsements to be PIC but not to manipulate the controls. Is that what the FAA intended, maybe not but that's what the reg says.

Could you log that? Yup.

FARs do not paint a consistent implied picture about logging total time, and do not address it explicitly either.

Again, all that said, I would encourage aspiring professionals to only log time which is generally accepted in industry, ie FAR or OPSPEC Solo, PIC, SIC, Dual, or "required crewmember"
