(running with scissors) wrote in om: From: Anthony Acri ) Subject: Right Seat Flying Date: 2001-12-11 03:21:43 PST Does anybody know if there is any regulations about flying from the right seat? Would like to flyi from the right seat while taking some people up for sightseeing. Have been flying from the right when I have been doing my instructors courses. Thanks As a question, why would you want to place a passenger in the left seat? what purpose would it serve ? There are regulations pertaining to this, and if you are indeed doing your instructors rating you should have gained a reasonable knowledge of the FAR's and furthermore have an understaning of CRM. Please cite the paragraph number of this regulation that pertains to right seat flying. read the FAR's and the AFM. as we are all aware, many GA aircraft are equipped with "dual" controls and instumentation, however, depending on the aircraft the left seat is configured as the primary control station, with reduced/limited access from the right seat, limited further if a body is in that seat, limited even further if it is occupied by a non pilot. Which aircraft are you talking about? Most small GA aircraft (skyhawks, cherokees, arrows, archers, skylanes, centurians...) do not make a distinction between left and right seat. Some aircraft do say that (the Katana DA-20), but they are the exception rather than the rule. many GA aircraft are configured with a preference for access to systems/controls from the left seat, as well you know. seeing as you want an example, many aircraft have the main wheel braking on the left side only with steering on the right. so again, what purpose would it serve to position a non pilot in the left seat and place yourself in the right seat, why would you want to limit access to full control of the aircraft. The left seat provides full access to the controls in most small GA aircraft. uh huh. which doesnt answer my question. you may be able to find a loophole in the FAR's, renters policy or insurance requirements to allow you to do this "legally", though even posing the question indicates a complete failure to understand CRM and lack of professionalism. if i found one of my pilots acting in this manner he would never be in one of my cockpits again forthwith. You don't need a loop hole. when the aircraft departs the runway left right or off the end following touchdown because a non flying passenger was in the left seat and didnt know how to brake or had his feet on the brakes, or blows a main because a non flying passenger had his toes on the brakes on landing, or stamped on the brakes after being asked to brake, you better start reading the FAR's, the AFM, the renters agreement, the insurance smallprint, because a few people wont be too happy. It is perfectly legal to fly from the right i didnt say it wasnt. seat unless the manufacturer or insurance company specifies differently. exactly. Sounds like you own a flying business, hence your reference to 'my pilots'. It is your business if you want to set a company policy not to fly solo from the right seat. there is no reason for it, only detriment. But expecting everyone follow your understanding of CRM displays poorly on your understanding of how the GA world operates. nope. CRM is CRM. i have a pretty good understanding of how the GA world operates thanks. |

As if your posting name didn't say enough about you, your entire post says that you are either very inexperienced or lacking in confidence in yourself and other pilots. It's been years since I have flown from the left seat of a general aviation aircraft. A few years back when I was flying 12-13 year old "Young Eagles", I never sat in the left seat, and as a matter-of-fact, very seldom touched the controls. The CFI who did my last Flight Review was amused when I flew the entire flight including the instrument portion from the right seat of a C-172. Bob Moore you are missing the whole point of the post. the original poster stated that it was sightseeing flight and it was a passenger, zero experience, who would be in the left seat and the poster was not a rated instructor. if you want to get into character assassination, then go ahead. call me what you want. |

Show us the regulation.. chapter and verse, or conceed that it doesnt exist. Dave |

the question i asked is what is the reason for placing a passenger in the left seat. any CFI who placed a student with zero experience or no ability in aircraft in a position of spin recovery or unusual attitude in IMC would hardly be considered responsible. Geez... what is the reason for placing a passenger in the RIGHT seat? I mean, it has fully functioning controls, the passenger could easily place the aircraft in a position of spin recovery or unucual attitude in IMC.

Thanks As a question, why would you want to place a passenger in the left seat? what purpose would it serve ? You might be helping a student pilot work on some procedures in between their lessons. I went back and re-read Amy's article and she did say student pilot, however, I don't see why it matters whether the left seat occupant is a student pilot or a non-pilot. I've never come across an FAR that says I can't fly from the right seat, no matter who is in the left seat or whether it is empty. Matt matt there was no mention of instruction. the poster stated it was for a sightseeing flight and he was not a rated instructor. I am the original poster in this thread and I made no mention of sightseeing. Matt |

You've now made this incorrect assertion at least three times. You may want to review the thread before making such bold statements. Matt |

As a question, why would you want to place a passenger in the left seat? what purpose would it serve ? A few that come to mind... 1) For aerial photography flights in aircraft with only left opening windows 2) Returning to base with an inop PTT button on the left yoke 3) attaching a yoke mounted GPS so that it doesn't block the instruments directly in front of you on the panel 4) Demo-ing an aircraft to a potential buyer (who may not even be rated yet) the poster stated it was in providing a sightseeing service and placing a non flying passenger in the right seat. |

Leaving aside the fact that the original poster made no such statement, what do you suppose those Young Eagle flights were if not sightseeing? |
