So, I'm facing a double below knee amputation. Diabetes. (eating too much **** on doggos) if I get a long enough stick (to poke the brakes with) can I log command from the right rear seat (I can see the instruments) if I tell the bloke sitting in the left front seat when to flare?

Actually Jack,
you'd go and see RVAC and fly their Warrior that's paraplegic modified.... JIO or LBL...can't recall exactly, but leaning towards JIO.
------------------------------
Its been over ten years since I looked at the reg, but the wording was basically, that the either seat could be considered the command seat provided the PIC could reach all controls neccessary for safe flight, or that the person occupying the other seat was suitably briefed to operate said control on the PIC's command. I.e as someone else mentioned, the fuel selector in a PA-28.
Its a similar thing with me flying the local Tavel-airs available to me. As I like a nice tight harness, being a bit short at one end, I cannot reach the transponder without releasing my harness, so I give the person sitting in the right a briefing on it, and get them to work the doings, under a watchfull eye of course. For the most part, its move it from stdby to alt and back again at the termination, but a flight into CTA .........................

Bro, ya not helping me 
I'm talking about the back seat. If I had glaucoma in the left eye would I have to sit in the left back seat? But there'd be another problem, I'd only be able to poke the right rudder pedals (no brakes) so I'd have to tell the f@cka when to flare & brake, logable??

Ranga - are you actually having trouble with the concept?
The pilot in command is simply the pilot commanding the flight - not necessarily the one wiggling any of the controls. International aircraft captains find no problem commanding the flight, even when they are resting in the bunk down the back ...

well i did try to put a serious slant on my reply...hopefully that part went home to the person intended.
-----------------
Jack it is certainly logable, but that would more than likely be on your head rather than in your LOGBOOK.

Boys and Girls, take a page out of the Indians books...it can ALLLLL be logged, doesn't matter whether you're in the front seat, back seat or if the flight even happened!! Until someone decides to question it...
