Thank You for the explanation, DaveReid. A most interesting topic. I find the philosophy of having P1 control only the flight controls and P2 handling the power levers remarkable. On the very few FADEC-less types I know, the PNF only set rated power as this involved longer heads-down time inappropriate for the PF (DH8-300 always, F70/100 only when both Autothrottle channels were u/s), but all the other time, the power levers were in the PFs domain.

Did P2 have his hands on the power levers during the entire approach, or was there a transfer of power lever control at some point?
