I agree, it sounds like a good thing to practice - I haven't done it myself but would like to try it given the chance.

Interestingly tonyhalsall mentioned an AAIB report. Another comes to my mind of a low hour instructor who crashed due to a combination of paralax error from the RH seat and (I think) miss-reading mph for knots. Just something to be aware of if you're sit over there for the first time.

The point about only working RHS with two is very important, e.g PA28R with toe brakes only on the left!

You mean he couldn't tell the airplane was too slow (or too fast). He's supposed to be a commercial pilot right?

He actually died in the accident. There was more to that than the snippet infers.
