Mark1234, yes, true, you can log command from the right hand seat but if your a PPL flying yourself around, would you??? I'd say not. All the dials are on the left....
So if you have another person with you, them being a pilot, or not, the person flying is still going to be sitting in the left hand seat, yeh???
Now I'm not too sure whether its a CAO requirment, or perhaps a company requirment, but a lot of 2 pilot operations require pilots, such as training captains to be right hand seat endorsed in order to do such things as training first officers to be captains,etc....
Sounds like your probably going to be flying a single engine machine on your trip, which is a single pilot airplane. If your flying sector for sector, then that should be an adequate personal record of the trip. If you want more, take your digital camera, take heaps of photo's, put them together in a slide show with some music and you will have something better than a few lines in your log book. Whatever you do though, dont both log the same hours. It would be deemed as falsifying (spell check u/s) ones log book, and if CASA saw it you'd be up the mighty proverbial creek. But just flying around on a PPL, the odds are low. But then again, dont rule out the possibility of being ramp checked on the trip.
Hope that helps.
