I fly from the right seat as PIC all the time. Not as an instructor
either. I can see all instruments and fly by reference to them from the
right if need be. I put pilot rated passengers in the left seat when I
do so (in case certain switches are difficult to reach... in your case,
just move the keyboard over 2 feet to the left of you..)

In small aircraft, if I understand correctly, there's no law that says
you can't put anyone you want in the right seat, as long as there's a
licensed pilot in command. So, what are your right-seat policies? Do
you put passengers in the seat? Only other pilots? Kids? Do you
ever have your pilot or non-pilot right-seat passenger help with any
part of the flight (reading charts, radio, autopilot, or actually
flying)?

Do pilots consider the right seat a place of honor for special guests
or passengers, or is it just another place to seat someone?

If you're married, does your spouse ride in the right seat? If so, is
he or she a pilot, too? If you have kids, do they ride up front?

Some people are prone to motion sickness if they aren't riding in one
of the front seats of a car. Is this true for aircraft, too (that is,
are there people who get motion sickness in a small plane if they
aren't riding up front)?
