this is why there are only dual controls in either of my planes, when I actually intend that the other person might fly.
Obviously you are more qualified than most of us to install and remove the controls, being a DAR yourself. But for the rest of us:
- How do schools, clubs, syndicates and groups regard the action of removing the controls from the RHS if you are flying with a passenger you don't quite trust?
- What is the legal perspective on this? Are you legally allowed to do so as a pilot, or only, for instance, if the procedures are listed in the POH and are thus designed to be executed by the pilot?
- And practically speaking, what can I expect? Of course it would depend on the aircraft, but would there be a quick release or some serious bolt and spanner work involved?
I have never ever seen the RHS controls removed from an aircraft, so just curious.
