So, with the PF being CM1 when the aircraft is on the ground, how do you handle RTOs and Emergency Evacs? Does the F/O (when he/she is PF) handle the thrust levers during takeoff? Does the F/O when he/she is CM1 (PF) act accordingly during the exection of the Emergency Evac checklist?
1. Does the F/O (when he/she is PF) handle the thrust levers during takeoff?
No. At my company the Capt handles the thrust levers, and the Capt makes the 'STOP' decision.
2. Does the F/O when he/she is CM1 (PF) act accordingly during the exection of the Emergency Evac checklist?
No. The duties in our Passenger Evacuation checklist are clearly defined as Capt or FO. The Capt orders the evacuation, assuming he is able.
Other companies may use different procedures.
