guess you never flew anything with tandem seating.. T-34, Cub or SuperCub,
Aeronica, Citabria, Husky.. you get the idea.. and for the J-3.. the PIC
position IS the BACK seat.. granted some of these examples are not "complex
aircraft" as generated by the first posting..

but a Husky on amphib floats would qualify, controllable prop, flaps and
retract gear..

there are front/back seats.. no side to side... I was covering all the
"seats" for the other trolling nitpickers out there..

For FAA purposes, I believe the PIC can fly in either control position.
I believe it is legal for the PIC to be in the back seat, but if there
was an incident/accident, I'm sure they would bring out the
careless/wreckless catch all. I believe the regs are set up so a non-PIC
(or non-pilot for the matter) can wiggle the controls at some point in
the flight. How could Dad teach the kids to fly if this were not allowed?

Regs geeks chime in any time. I'm curious about what treasures may be in
there.

I read about a case where an insurance company was refusing an accident
claim (big surprise) where either the PIC was witnessed in the right
seat, or that is where they found the bodies. The insurance company
position was that the PIC was the non-pilot in the left seat and hence,
the insurance was void. Not sure where it ended up.
