Also, designated 'in-command' pilot should remain in their normal / operating seat. They don't occupy the left seat just to be 'in-charge'.
I would argue that is actually not the intended aim of the EASA regulation. Yes, there can only one commander per flight, however, no, he doesn't have to be in the operating seat. For example for a large part of a command course the commander will sit on the jump seat, while the trainee sits in the left seat.
