Default Right seat problems

Greg B writes:

It's normal to PIC from the left seat but there isn't any regulation stating
so. Initial pilot training, the CFI is PIC in the right seat. I remember
asking in Singapore which seat people normally fly from and they did left
seat also, although driving there is RHD.


From what I understand, the PIC has to have "dual controls" if he is
in the right seat. Does that just mean yoke and rudder, or what? I
gather there aren't any restrictions on instruments, although I guess
most aircraft (?) have an extra artificial horizon and altimeter on
the right side (?).
