Farsouth;
We fly the monitored approach; it gets a bit tangled up with the "non-landing handling pilot and the landing non-handling pilot" when you read the ops manual, its been SOP in the last two UK operations I've flown on for the last 20 years. I believe it may have been in use at BA since the late 80's, in fact IIRC at BA the PF takes off, then the PNF flies the sector and the approach for the PF to land the beast, that way the PF (bloke doing the T/O and landing) has a head start on where that aircraft is in space as he's monitoring everything and not having to fly it at the same time.
