I would preface that statement 'with an instructor'. Obviously however, that
depends on the experience level and proficiency of the person. I have two
retired married friends in their 70's, both pilots who I gave instruction
for their private certificates. I decided that being able to land from the
right in the event of health problems with the other would be a good idea.
For someone who has never tried to land from the right, it can be a very
awkward and even 'eventful' happening with the change in perspective during
the landing process.
