Yes, however my personal choice would be rather than the camera moving to the left/right or back/forwards then staying there when the RMB is released I would prefer as you release the RMB that the camera would spring back to the normal central position wile looking in the same direction.
But on the other hand if you look downward (mouse look) 90deg then hold the RMB down then move the mouse backwards is razes the POV similar to razing the seat which can make landings & taxiing easer and you only have to press “keypad /” to reset the view.
