Is it not true that under demading conditons (to which both crewmembers have been trainded equally) it is beneficial to let handling to the second-in-command so that the true captain is in position to call a go around while not being distracted by the petty job of steering the ship?
I think modern crew resource management has now agreed that during conditions as stated, the crew is better served to let the FO drive, this philosophy has nothing to do do with being the operating pilot in dangerous wind conditions, is that how you operate, I hope your not an airline pilot.
