FAR 121.543
Hello fellows!
FAR 121.543 states that in case the assigned Pilot in command leaves his duty station in order to begin a rest period, he is relieved by a Pilot second in command qualified to act as a Pilot in command enroute.
The question is:
Should the pilot second in command, seat on the left? Can he seat on the right?
What is the spirit of the regulation? There is a major airline, where the second in command seats on the right, and the first officer on the left seat.
Do you think this is right?
Would love to hear your comments!
