Who does that? I don’t think that’s at all commonplace. I’ve heard of people conducting a whole sector SP if they hold the right privileges, if for example a co-pilot doesn’t hold an IR, the weather has closed in, and the commander has briefed that they will fly an IFR recovery leg SP, using their SP rating/OPC etc provided they hold SP recencies for IFR. I’ve not heard of people changing in flight. Almost all co-pilots have IRs, what’s to be gained?
