BOAC

Unless it has changed in BA
It has..... Now the landing pilot can't take control until (and I roughly paraphrase the new SOP), the aircraft is fully configured, "on speed" and approach power applied - and in any event at the earliest not before 1000' AAL..... So I'm afraid the days of calling "visual, I have control" 100 miles out have gone.
