"... namely that you're not generally supposed to constantly monitor the PF through linked controls ... "

you are right, you said that badly. Monitoring is mostly an SA and mental function if you are not the pilot flying. Once again, I never implied that the monitoring was being done via linked controls.

The monitoring begins with performance: is it (he) doing what we expect it (him) to be doing, or are we in a

'what's he doing now?'
'what's it doing now?'

condition?

Enough. Been over this exact point time and again in the 447 thread. With you.
