hi roger
Yes, it worked that way round, but I got thoroughly sick and tired of flying the aircraft to cat 1 minima when conditions and airmanship dictated that the other bloke took control early to get the power and trim sorted.
You often got the P1 waiting till DA on a gusty day and then getting all out of shape with big thrust and trim inputs before crashing on with rudder, aileron, elevator and thrust levers all in the wrong place!
I don't think the rationale behind the monitored approach covered this type of scenario as it was really intended for LVOs and not for other types of weather.
My current operator encourage handing control to the other pilot when the workload is high, but emphasize that reducing the workload first may be a better option.
hi Map Shift
Yup, right on both counts!
