Rule #1 Fly the aircraft!

Rule #2 See Rule 1.

Even in a damn Airbus there is no need to rush things. The first
thing is to FLY the aircraft safely, THEN to attend the problems at
hand. If that means the PF needing the PNF to assist him till things
settle down then so be it.

This is best demonstrated during an EMERG CONFIG or DUAL HYD
while on final approach - let the PF fly the bloody thing while the
PNF does radio and monitoring a safe flight path. Once that's been
achieved, and the PF can cope with his own workload from thereon,
the PNF can proceed with the ECAM.

There might not necessarily be a Radar service out in the boonies,
which means the above para is VERY important as the crew will
have to be accurate in navigation and situational awareness.
