Monitored Approaches
I know this subject has been broached before and my intention is not to start a slagging match. Indeed I have a sensible question regarding this issue.
As some of you know, I work for CFE and we are about to be instructed in the arcane and bizarre monitored approach method of operating our aircraft. Now I have my reservations about the validity of this method but it is, I am told, inevitable and imminent; they pay me to do the job their way and that is the way I shall do it.
My query stems from the fact that I like to hand fly my aircraft raw data as often as I can and only when I consider that it will not put too great a burden on my colleague (i.e. weather's nice, rested and firing on all four hairdryers). So, my question is simple and it is this: do you still have to hand over control at DA to the Non-handling-flying-landing pilot if you are doing a visual approach?
Would appreciate an answer from a BA man/woman, please.

Very funny, Scotty. Now beam up my clothes!
