That might be different for gliders if the opilot is a CFIG.
I have no reference handy to back that up, but maybe look into it.

While there isn't a specific CAP regulation that pointedly prevents logging orientation flights as flight instruction time, the guide does specifically state that orientation flights are "educational but not conducted as formal flight training" in CAPP 60-40 section 1.2.3. In addition, CAP Standard 71-1 outlines the approved syllabi for initial flight training, so the orientation flights themselves cannot be considered flight training since they don't fall within the CAP/DO-approved Part 61 training programs.

Edit: Found another relevant section in the regulation that might be the "catch-all" for not logging orientation flight time towards your hours.

From CAPR 70-1 6.1.1:

"CAP flight training shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of 14 CFR 61
and the guidance contained in: CAPS 71-1, Aircrew Training, Airplane, CAPS 71-2, Aircrew Training,
Glider, CAPS 71-3, Aircrew Training, Balloon and CAPS 71-6, Aircrew Training, Cadet Wings, as
appropriate."

So I am not a CFI(yet) but I am an Orientation pilot and I was asked this question to which I could not answer. If an orientation pilot is a CFI can they log that as dual given/received to the cadet in the right seat?

In the past I thought there was a regulation that prevented that but I could not find it in 70-1 or the Orientation Flight guide.
