If you are flying different types (which is limited now by authorities, under commercial operations, the number of type ratings on complex helicopters is limited to anything up to 3 types only), the seats need to be changed not on every opc, but on every other opc on that type.

January Type 1 left seat
March Type 2 Left seat
July Type 1 right seat
September Type 2 right seat

For example.


​​​​​​That is IF the pilot is required to operate from each seat, which should only be the case for certain long line operations or while flying with PICUS/Line Training without being an instructor...

Instructors will be qualified to fly Pic from the left seat anyway....
