BlueEagle,
Just to clarify the 6 out of 10 stat. This comes from the following N.T.S.B. safety study:A Review of Flight crew- Involved, Major Accidents of U.S. air Carriers, 1978 through 1990. report no. NTSB/SS-94/01. NTSB, 1994.
In that NTSB study of FLIGHT CREW CAUSED accidents, the F/O was the PNF in 30 (81%) of the 37 accidents reviewed. So the stat. is actually closer to 8 out of 10 captains as pilot flying in CREW CAUSED accidents.
Captains would stay current with Pilot Flying skills emphasized on their simulator sessions with min. vis. approaches, max. cross wind landings, etc. Could also stay approach current with a one hour, rostered session once a month on approved CBT flight simulators. I wonder how many captains are truely, ALWAYS current on all types of approaches, not just the ILS?!
