Maybe the point is just that getting a different view and a different feel
and adjusting to it is useful in making the transition to a single place

At the club where I did my initial training it was madatory for a
"close to solo" student to gain experience in back-seat flying before
being awarded his solo wings. It seemed very clear to me that being
in the back seat was very similar in positioning, with respect to CG
and outlook, to the single seater I would be transitioning into in due
course.

Curious coe of practice.

What kind of single seater was this that had a head right in front of
