UK A320 operator

- operating as Pilot Flying in Low Vis conditions (take-off/approach/landing)?

Take-off:
only captains have been sim trained to carry out take-offs in 125m RVR so SFO minima = applicable minima or 150m whichever greater, FOs = double that

Landing:
Only Captains complete Autoland training as PF. SFO = applicable minima. FOs should not fly the approach when close to minima but how close not specified.


- calling for and executing a Rejected Take-off?

Captain holds Thrust Levers on all take-offs & makes all decisions to stop.


- landing/take-off in adverse weather conditions, eg. x-wind/contaminated
runways/wind shear/etc?

SFO AFM limits
FO 2/3 X AFM limit


- challenging/demanding approaches like circling approaches/Cat C airfields?

Where weather is a factor Captains & SFOs only.


- taxiing the aircraft?

FOs & SFOs can taxi but Captain must park the aircraft.


- signing the Tech log?

FO/SFOs can sign for fuel, oil & hydraulic levels as well aspre-flight inspection.
Not surprisingly the captain must sign the captains acceptance & post flight certification.
