Default Comair Pilot Error

It was reported that the First Officer [the survivor] was
flying so that means the Caption was taxiing, since the nose
wheel steering is probably only on the left side. This also
means that the co-pilot did not have a good view of the taxi
route and left turn on the runway.


There is only a tiller on the captain's side. There's a limitted
amount of nose wheel steering through the rudder pedals, but
insufficient for the hard right turn onto the runway here.
