Captain-only approaches
If we start from the understanding that the first officer on a commercial passenger jet holds the same licence and is equally well qualified to fly the aircraft as the captain (a fact that surprises many passengers for whom the concept of PF/PNF is a misnomer), could someone explain to me the 'justification' for having approaches/landings that can only be flown by the captain?
Does it boil down to experience? That is, the approach is a bit tricky and should be flown by the more experienced pilot? And am I correct in thinking that Innsbruck is an example of this?
Thanks
Nick
