Similarly, the co-pilot could be the handling pilot for the flight but hand control to the captain for landing. There will also be very different processes for preparing for visual approaches compared to instrument approaches to an airport in controlled airspace.
Yes absolutely. What I meant by the co-pilot here is just the other pilot within the cockpit that is not you, be it the PF/PM, or Commander/First officer. The impact of both the role you fly as, as well as the type of landing/approaches you conduct is included within the interview as they represent some of the factors that we are most interested in studying.
