Same here in South East Asia with the airline I'm with. The F/O as PF for a whole sector will do the same duties as if the Captain was flying the sector, with the exception of when the thrust levers are advanced on T/O, we hand over control of the thrust levers to the Captain and ask him/her to set thrut and their hands are on the levers till V1 cause the Captain makes the abort decision. No other restrictions but of course a Captain can take over anytime. If you feel you want a bit more hand flying time, you can choose yourself when to engage or disengage the autopilot after takeoff and for the landings. Our SOP are mainly in line with Boeing procedures.
