Am I to believe this guy is telling the wider forum and the public that a F/O is adequately qualified to operate the aircraft in all manner of flight, navigation, approach, go-around, land etc but should the God like genius in the LHS become incopacitated die and the F/O gets the aircraft safely on the ground, he is totally incapable of taxiing the same aircraft off the runway?
I believe this has happened to one Far Eastern airline when P1 was incapacitated.

After a successful autoland by the F/O, he had to stop on the runway as he had NEVER been taught/allowed to taxi the beast.

Company policy allowed the F/O to control the aircraft from after lineup until about 40 knots on the landing roll. [B747 with a tiller on each side]

An ideal place for 411A perhaps?
