Here in the US that would never be allowed for initial or upgrade IOE as the Check Airman must be at the controls. Woundering if any one out there might have some experience on this subject.
Under no circumstances do you want to be in the jumpseat training pilots who do not have experience on type. That is a recipe for disaster and could place you in a very bad situation if an incident/accident happened.
I've trained pilots in 3 different countries and I have always been in an operating seat. I've had a few instances where I had to make control inputs to keep something bad from happening.
