When I took lessons in a float plane the instructor sat on the right but put me Pilot's seat on the left. I was too interested in learning to fly, way back when, to ask this question.<br>Enjoy the weather!

But some larger helicopters - like the blue 204 taking my mower) have dual controls so they can be flown from either side. Like this one, many have a bubble window on the left side so the pilot can see better below. They will fly from the left when long-lining cargo or bucketing on a fire, but will fly from the right when carrying passengers or freight internally. 'Dual controls' is how I was able to 'fly' one of these on a recent trip!Ivan Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168049287421499715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551268533259020554.post-91573753719916882512014-09-08T21:11:31.443-07:002014-09-08T21:11:31.443-07:00Hey Ivan!...Can you tell me why the pilot in a pla...Hey Ivan!...Can you tell me why the pilot in a plane is on the left side, and the guy in charge in a chopper is on the right side?<br>Thanks,<br>DavidUpriverdavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551268533259020554.post-71258755896059908942014-09-08T02:10:49.766-07:002014-09-08T02:10:49.766-07:00Good deys!Good deys!МАЯ Ф.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18302177711057468627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551268533259020554.post-5649025780700343342014-09-07T23:19:45.278-07:002014-09-07T23:19:45.278-07:00I think you have an amazing and fun Summer past ti...I think you have an amazing and fun Summer past time.
