Can a PIC Pilot log as a safety pilot?

As long as the pilot flying the aircraft is rated for the aircraft being flown, he/she may log this time as PIC because he/she is sole manipulator of the controls (FAR 61.51).

Again, because Pilot B is a required crewmember, he/she will need a current medical certificate (FAR 61.3).
