Role of training captains
Can a professional pilot help answer this question?
What kind of training does a Training Captain provide a First Officer in a two-pilot crew compliment where the Training Captain is the Commander in the LHS? In other words, what are the additional responsibilities of an operating training captain over and above a regular line captain? (I am not talking about line checks from the jump seat.) I am puzzled because I know that the F/O must already have a fATPL to be flying on the line.
Also, do airlines have a policy whereby a new F/O flies only with a training captain for a certain number of hours / flights?
Thanks for your help. And Happy New Year all!
