page1image48166672There appears to be some confusion over the new pilot role titles. The following will hopefully clear
page1image47988080up any misunderstandings.
page1image47990672The titles P1, P2 and co-pilot will now cease to have any meaning within the BA Operations
page1image47998768Manual. They are to be replaced by:
page1image48002384Handling Pilot, Non-Handling pilot, Handling Landing Pilot, Non-Handling Landing Pilot, Handling
page1image48010368Non-Handling Pilot and Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot.
page1image48015072A. The Landing Pilot is initially the Handling Pilot and will handle the take-off and landing except in
page1image48024000role reversal when he/she is the Non-Handling Pilot for taxi until the Handling Non-Landing Pilot,
page1image48032352hands the Handling to the Landing Pilot at eighty knots.
page1image48037632B. The Non-Landing (Non-Handling, since the Landing Pilot is Handling) Pilot reads the checklist to
page1image48045984the Handling Pilot until after Before Descent Check List completion, when the handling Landing
page1image48602192pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot who then becomes the Handling
page1image48780544Non-Landing Pilot.
C. The Landing pilot is the Non-Handling Pilot until the "decision altitude" call, when the Handling
Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Landing Pilot, unless the latter calls "go
around', in which case the Handling Non-Landing pilot continues handling and the Non-Handling
Landing Pilot continues non handling until the next call of "land" or "go around", as appropriate.
page1image48805936In view of the recent confusion over these rules, it was deemed necessary to restate them clearly.
page1image48814768This then should eliminate any confusion."
