Seem to recall from an FS Course sometime that Wg Cdrs and above are involved in 30% of flying but 50% of accidents/incidents. (Can't remember the exact figures, but you get the picture.)
The general points on captaincy above are of course correct, however there can be exceptions. One recalls during the CFS(H) Course student mutual practices (both studes captain qualified in both seats) the handling pilot was designated captain, even if control was passed many times during the sortie. Don't know if that were true on FW, but rotary sorties didn't easily lend themselves to "your 30 mins then my 30 mins."
Haven't flown with CFS(H) for 12 years+, so don't know if it is still so.
