Well, I thought the following had at least some merit ....

Role Description: Handling Pilot and Non-Handling Pilot

The Landing Pilot is the Handling Pilot and will handle the take-off and landing except in role reversal when he is the Handling Pilot for taxi and takeoff until he hands the handling to the current Non-Handling Pilot, who then becomes the Handling Pilot and the Landing Pilot (which makes him the Handling Landing Pilot). This transfer begins at eighty knots and the role reversal is complete when the previously Handling Non-Landing Pilot assumes the role of the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot.

The Non-Landing (and Non-Handling, since the Landing Pilot is Handling) Pilot reads the checklist to the Handling Landing Pilot until after the Before Descent Checklist completion, when the Handling Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot, who then becomes the Handling Non-Landing Pilot, leaving the previously Handling Landing Pilot to assume the correct role of Non-Handling Landing Pilot, and the instrument approach may begin.

We must stress that the Landing Pilot is the Non-Handling Pilot until the "decision altitude" call, when, if the landing is to be made, the Handling Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Landing Pilot, where the roles are reversed, and the previously Handling Non-Landing Pilot becomes the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot, and the previously Non-Handling Landing Pilot becomes the Handling Landing Pilot -- unless the original Non-Handling Landing Pilot calls "go-around," in which case the original Handling Non-Landing Pilot continues Handling and the Non-Handling Landing Pilot continues Non-Handling until the next approach and the call of "land" or "go-around," as appropriate, is made. This sequence is then repeated until a successful landing is made.
