Right seat flying
This isn't an IFR related question, but I don't see an r.a group devoted
to instruction. I just received the May/June issue of Aviator's Guide and they make an interesting claim on page 38. In the third paragraph they say that it is illegal for a non-instructor pilot to fly in the right seat with a non-pilot in the left seat. I've never thought about doing this, but never considered that it could be illegal. Can anyone here confirm this, preferably with a reference to the approriate FAR? I've never come across an FAR that addressed this before. Matt |

In the third paragraph they say that it is illegal for a non-instructor pilot to fly in the right seat with a non-pilot in the left seat. In the United States, there is no regulation as far as I know that dictates what seat the Pilot In Command must utilize, except that it must be a control seat, which I take to mean a seat with controls. Nothing I am aware of prevents a pilot from flying solo in the right seat, the front seat, the back seat, or even a passenger seat (with strings attached to the yoke). I believe the author is incorrect. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

I've never come across an FAR that addressed this before. Matt I am not familiar with Aviator's Guide, but this is pure BS. There is no regulation regarding flying from the right seat. When I was training for my instructor certificate, I flew all the time from the right seat, both with passengers and solo. You have to occupy a seat that has full controls, but no one cares (except perhaps the insurance company) which seat that is. |

That's a surprise...she is sharper than that. My thought exactly. Surely she knows better than that. Was there *any* other context that might change things. Such as not talking about the USA? Or talking about aircraft without dual controls? ----------------------------------------------- James M.
