In years gone by when my IR was current myself & another member of our Cherokee 6 group used to sometimes do our renewal flight with the inestimable John Kohler at Liverpool airport (anyone else remember John?) - first candidate would fly with the second sat in the back, do the excercise then on the climb out from the second approach John would take control and just say ( in that Texan drawl) OK swap!
So Pilot (who had been flying) moved rearwards and next candidate took his place in the LH seat.
Both of us logged the hours!
Both of us felt fairly happy at having survived
