With the exception of underlined above, you will generally find that (good) multicrew SOPs require exactly the same of the PM when below FL100.

Cosmo,

Most places where I have worked reqire that the pilot monitoring is not distracted by unnecessary paperwork below FL100 aka plog and when the autopilot is engaged the PF does the short term fms inputs eg "direct to".

That uisually leaves communications and naviad crosseheck to the pilot monitoring. Quite a big difference in busy airspace.


However, the point I was making is that the PM does not simply sit there looking out the window as was previously claimed.

cribble,

Thank you.

So who were all those people who hand fly from start to finish?
