Question about seating

Postby Ben_M_K » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:10 am

I just thought of this about 10 minutes ago so I thought I'd post it before I forget. ;)

Okay, in the US, people drive in the left seat, and the pilot in command (PIC) flies in the left seat. But in Europe, people drive in the right seat. So do PICs in Europe fly in the right seat also, or still left seat?

Thanks,
Ben :)

You wanted an Aussie?  Well, you got one, here I go...

Driving on the left side of the road is right.  Sitting on thr right while driving is...right.  And sitting on the left while flying is also correct.  It just you yanks doing everything wrong.  (except for the flying part of course). ;D ;)
