Do AB pilots need separate certifications for flying left and right handed? Just being curious.
There are times when you fly an airplane with conventional yokes left- and right-handed depending on your seat, so I doubt it. If a F/O is making a takeoff, his right hand is on the yoke and the left guarding the power levers even if the captain sets power. Vice-versa for the left seat. At least that's the way it works on the business jets I've flown.
I guess that the meaning of question was not about right of left hands .. but about the certifications of the hands holder
The problem is related with the Bonin certifications
They are different in BEA reports 2 and 3
Wait for what BEA will put (about Bonin certifications) in the final report .....
