Hi Guys,
I am still lacking accurate info on which airlines use "Monitored Approach" technique today (as described in my first post on this thread ). Any info would be grately appreciated.
If you work for an airline which has changed from Monitored back to non Monitored, I would also be very interested in why this happened.
The evidence/expert opinion I have seen so far weighs in favour of a handover of control from the pilot flying the instrument approach to the other pilot (usually the commander) when visual being the safer option. If there is any evidence to the contrary, I would wish to hear of it.
Is anyone aware of any events when there was a handling problem or loss of control when PNF took control for the landing during a Monitored Approach?
Steve Last, the author of the paper referenced by PE3721, has been extremely helpful in providing me with quality information. Unfortunatley there seems to be little authorititive material on this subject published within the last 10-15 years.
If you are worried about confidentiality, please PM me. No information I receive will be used other than for flight safety analysis by me.
