The devil's in the detail
What the manufacturer requires is that if flown with only one pilot, that pilot must be in the right crew seat. It does
not say that with a two pilot crew, the PIC
cannot be in the left seat
Australia also has an ICUS (In Command Under Supervision) definition, which is then logged by both pilots as PIC. The Pilot Supervising the Pilot In Command Under Supervision must be approved by the Chief Pilot, and is then able to carry out Check Flights, etc, as supervisory pilot. The pilot being Supervised is PIC for the Check, but both pilots can log PIC in their logbooks.
Seems to work fine over here
