Pilots and train engineers typically operate controls from the right side for several reasons, primarily related to safety and practicality. In aviation, this design aligns with the majority of pilots being right-handed, allowing for more intuitive control and coordination. Similarly, train controls are positioned on the right to facilitate better visibility and accessibility, particularly when navigating tracks and signaling. This positioning also helps standardize operations across different vehicles and environments, enhancing overall safety.
