Meet the British Airways pilot filming from the flight deck to demystify his job | The Independent
Just seen this on the web.
Beautiful severe CAVOK not a cloud in sight, and not very busy ATC environment. Capt. handling the aircraft (fully coupled approach) At about 5/600 feet Capt inexplicably hands control to the co pilot. He continues fully coupled to 3/400 ft and manually lands. Only handling seemed to be the copilot tweaks the side stick back 1/4 inch to flare, and I presume closed the thrust levers, as the auto-throttle appeared active until touchdown. This presumably is called a co pilot handling sector.
What a seemingly complicated way to operate a modern jet airliner!
No wonder handling skills are deteriorating.
