Reading another thread on the board (
here), got me thinking.
It is possible, or common/not uncommon, for the more senior (in terms of total hours and/or rank) pilot to have fewer hours on type or hold a lesser "on-type" rating than the other flight deck member(s)?
If so, in a situation similar to that described in the thread, where the Captain as PF is not certified to land the aircraft in the prevailing weather conditions and the FO was, can the Captain transfer PF to the FO and allow the landing to take place?
