If you are landing in a limiting crosswind wet or dry runway does commonsense dictate the captain should do the landing as he wears it if something should go wrong? Or should the first officer do the landing if it his leg simply because as second in command he has been certified competent to be in that position.
Where does the captain stand in a court of law if the first officer makes an error of skill or judgement when landing in the above crosswind limiting conditions and the captain leaves it too late to recover the situation, and damage to the aircraft results.
The problem arises when the captain and first officer have not flown together previously and the captain can only assume and therefore hope the first officer is competent to land under limiting crosswind conditions. What Risk and Error management tools can the captain fall back on when permitting the first officer to land in limiting crosswinds where things can quickly go pearshape at the flare point.
