Hi..
I'd just like to pick up on one of the comments here to get more info..
"standard procedures such as the co-pilot flying the aircraft while the pilot works with part of the crew to
solve a problem."
Here in Ansett NZ the procedure is for the Captain to take control of the Aircraft while the co-pilot gets
the QRH and goes through the checklist.. This procedure came from Ansett Australia when Ansett NZ
was setup. I believe many pilots prefer the co-pilot to be flying but that is not the way we are trained. I
wonder how many airlines have the Captain flying during emergencies and how many the other way
round.
