In the LATs the workload is halved with the introduction of the second pilot. RJ85 crew (Dubbo) have suggested that the FO manages engines and airspeed indications only and does not monitor terrain. The pilot flying manages the airframe and drop sequence and should be the one monitoring terrain at all stages of the drop sequence including the departure from the orbit. It is the decision making during the approach to the drop that seems to be the issue during the emerging pattern of LAT incidents/accidents. Yes they are managing a higher work load at low level, but, that's what they are there for and what they have been trained for. If there is a shortfall, it needs to be addressed. These flight crews are evidently experienced, intelligent people. Are they being strangled by poorly resolved procedures?
