mad_jock: from your posts I asume that you are still quite involved with light aviation? As an examiner did you never have to ensure that a PPL SE rated pilot who wished to revalidate his rating by way of hours flown had also met the requirements with respect to the 12 landings required in the final 12 months of the two year period?
With regard to the matter of "co-pilot" handling on larger aircraft - in the days of the "Atlantic Barons" it was quite possible to log thousands of hours as P2 without ever being allowed to touch the flying controls. Thus P1ucs was established as one means of getting at least some idea of how much "polling" time a tyro co-jo was getting.
The youngsters these days...................
Have you never heard of BOAC's infamous Landing Card for F/Os?
