A young pilot may actually do all of the flying, but the safety pilot is prepared to take control at any moment.

Never heard the term 'safety pilot'.

“Safety pilot” was a term used by the reporter. To avoid confusing people, I copied the usage. In this context, the child would have been flying with a CFI (Certified Flight Instructor).
