No, I am not. But your post was quite broad in its approach, so I was just wondering who you were adressing. As I wrote the post above it, I was curious what I did wrong.

As for changing seats in flight, I fully agree that it is not a smart thing to do, yet there may be circumstances that could make it a needed option. From that point of view I too was curious about the legality of it. I once swapped seats inside a BE76 while airbourne as that was the only option to complete two profchecks without an intermediate landing. It's a long story, but this was the lesser of two evils so everyone concerned was happy that this best suited our needs. We did this while keeping a qualified person at the controls, at altitude, during level flight and generally kept it as safe as we could. Looking back on it, it all worked out allright but this thread did get me wondering. That's all.
