First Officer Minimums
My airline restricts First Officers to ceiling of 300' and vis. of 1500 metres. Crosswind limits also apply by a/c type.
It is my opinion that this is a crock left over from the good old days.
I am seeking information from as many airlines as possible as to what limits, if any , are applied to crew other than the Captain. For example, Second Officers are not even allowed to be in a control seat below 5000' a.g.l..
I am interested in any limits imposed such as but not limited to ceiling, vis.,autopilot use,crosswind etc. etc..
My airline operates all over the world with 737's and up including Category 3b operations.
My airline claims to operate to worlds best practise. What does yours do?
