Bloggs- Not quite the same. I was referring to taking over when the approach became unstable. Tee Emm was inferring to not giving the FO the leg from the outset. Now I was not sure about the forecast or actual weather conditions, and I am not saying that a Captain shouldn't take the leg when he/she feels it is appropriate, but in this case I didn't see anything that would have warranted the Captain taking over the leg from the outset. (Unless the SOPS preclude an FO from doing a Non precision approach).

Sometimes on occasions like this event, the captain should use his airmanship and conduct the approach personally.
I don't agree that this was such an occasion.
Where the captain Did not use his airmanship or show command, was in not either calling for the go around, or taking control.
