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 |

Or talking about aircraft without dual controls? ----------------------------------------------- James M.

Or talking about aircraft without dual controls? Nothing obvious. I sent an email to the editor and he forwarded it to Amy and cc'd me. I checked their web site (http://www.aviatorsguide.com/), but they have yet to post the latest issue online, so you all can't read the full article. I'm not sure why I'm receiving this publication as I didn't subscribe to it, but this is the second issue I've received. Matt |

From: Anthony Acri )
Subject: Right Seat Flying Date: 2001-12-11 03:21:43 PST Does anybody know if there is any regulations about flying from the right seat? Would like to flyi from the right seat while taking some people up for sightseeing. Have been flying from the right when I have been doing my instructors courses. Thanks As a question, why would you want to place a passenger in the left seat? what purpose would it serve ? There are regulations pertaining to this, and if you are indeed doing your instructors rating you should have gained a reasonable knowledge of the FAR's and furthermore have an understaning of CRM. as we are all aware, many GA aircraft are equipped with "dual" controls and instumentation, however, depending on the aircraft the left seat is configured as the primary control station, with reduced/limited access from the right seat, limited further if a body is in that seat, limited even further if it is occupied by a non pilot. so again, what purpose would it serve to position a non pilot in the left seat and place yourself in the right seat, why would you want to limit access to full control of the aircraft. you may be able to find a loophole in the FAR's, renters policy or insurance requirements to allow you to do this "legally", though even posing the question indicates a complete failure to understand CRM and lack of professionalism. if i found one of my pilots acting in this manner he would never be in one of my cockpits again forthwith. |

message om... As a question, why would you want to place a passenger in the left seat? what purpose would it serve ? A few that come to mind... 1) For aerial photography flights in aircraft with only left opening windows 2) Returning to base with an inop PTT button on the left yoke 3) attaching a yoke mounted GPS so that it doesn't block the instruments directly in front of you on the panel 4) Demo-ing an aircraft to a potential buyer (who may not even be rated yet) |
