A question to all the CFIs on the board who actually remember ---

How many hours in the right seat before you felt as competent in the
right as in the left? (In a side by side, not a tandem, Bertie)

I flew right seat for the first time in a couple of weeks and I felt
as co-ordinated on landings as a drunken penguin.

The rest (Steep turns, ground reference, etc) was smooth and exceeded
PTS Comm standards.

After about 8 stop and goes things smoothed out....

As I recall it took me about 10 hours to feel comfortable and competent
in the right hand seat. I am extremely right handed (I look like a freak
trying to throw a baseball with my left arm) so that may have been part
of it.
