I flew ONE cct in my Robin in the right hand seat -felt very peculiar, not so much because of the parallax on the instruments, but having my LEFT hand on the throttle and RIGHT hand on the stick, totally opposite to the way I fly from the left hand seat. Took A LOT of concentration, but interesting exercise. Why? Coz the new guy in the left hand seat was making real poo of his ccts!!

I did look into this -the only thing that stops non-shareholders in my plane flying from the left is a clause in the agreement that a shareholder must be in the left hand seat....no CAA ruling apparently.
