In a pursuit situation there may be advantages in positioning the "bandit" vehicle on the left - e.g. When it becomes obscured by the building line,
but this can make it more challenging for the pilot to fly to, whereas with the bandit vehicle on the right, the pilot can see it and fly to it.
It's then the left seat Observer that can't physically see the bandit vehicle, but they don't need to, as they have the camera on it.
Similarly with orbiting, right hand orbits give the pilot a better view of what to fly to.
Not sure what any of that has to do with NPAS though, other than the cuts to left AND right hand orbits
