“How to be a good Safety Pilot”

What do the FAR/AIM have to say? 14 CFR 91.109
When can an average Private Pilot License not be an Safety Pilot?
What items are worth considering and discussing with the Pilot In Command to ensure a safe/successful flight?
What should the Pilot In Command and Safety Pilot discuss before they fire up the engine?
How does Safety Pilot time get entered into the Safety Pilot’s logbook?
What differences between Safety Pilot and instructor?
What are the “must do” items the Safety Pilot should be doing? What are the extras?
Under what conditions should the Safety Pilot do more than just point out something to the Pilot In Command?
How did BasicMed change the definition of who could be Safety Pilot?
Should the Safety Pilot be willing to pay his pro-rata share for aircraft rental?

The topic is one that is both easy to understand and easy to misunderstand. And sometimes there is lots of misinformation being repeated on the interwebz.

Which is why I think a discussion with your podcast crew would be a good topic.
