Hi folks,  here is the scenario

I'm a low time RV7 pilot wanting to stay IFR current in my IFR legal RV7 (tailwheel) with the Dynon Skyview installed

My hangar neighbor is a newly minted IFR pilot wanting to build time towards his commercial rating.  He flies a complex, High performance Sokata Trinidad.  He does not have a tailwheel endorsment and I do not have either a complex or high performance endorsement.

Can either of us log time as safety pilot for the other while the other is under the hood?  Can either of us legally be safety pilots for each other?  (Maybe that is the same question)

If I went and got an endorsement in a complex airplane (the local flight school does not have a complex, High Performance anymore) and flew with him as safety pilot could any of that time be logged towards the requirement for complex time for my commercial rating?

Thanks in advance for the answers.....

(do not archive)

Given your scenario, rated in Category and Class is the requirement to note. Assuming you both have a current medical, you are good to go.

No endorsements (complex, high-performance, tailwheel) are listed as safety pilot requirements.

I think the key is both aircraft are categorized as ASEL and while you are the safety pilot, you are NOT PIC. It is considered dual pilot required and the safety pilot is (and can log time as) SIC. The safety pilot is basically a lookout whose prime purpose is to tell the pilot to take off the view restricting device and look out the window.
