Maybe the point is just that getting a different view and a different feel

We transition our sutdents when two instructors feel they are ready for
it. They read the handbook, we brief them thouroughly and they go. I
don't know of any student who had the slightest problem.

On the other hand, we consider flying from the back seat with nobody or
a non pilot in the front seat a very bad and dangerous idea. Having lost
three club members in mid airs during the last three years, we are a bit
sensitive for a thorough look out.
