Why is this? I know I tend to be on the left, and instructors I've flown with or spoken to have told me that most pilots do, but I've never found a reason.
I think it's probably a subconscious thing because in this country we drive on the left and a runway with a centre-line looks a bit like a road.

Perhaps some of our non-UK readers confirm whether everyone lands on the right in other countries?

I was never allowed to get away with it by my instructor -- he'd want my eye-line crack on the centre-line, take-off or landing.
