Gidday to my Scandi friends from the former TWE,
I am now flying Diesel (B717) in OZ and am interested in the PICMA approach which I learnt a lot about during my short time in your country.
PICMA - pilot in command monitored approach - F/O flies and Captain manages, to take over at the minima and land.
Do you guys and gals still fly this type of approach? - we're only CAT 1 down here and we also do a lot of NPA work as well.
If there is a trend away from this - if so,why? - and what is now considered the cutting edge of approaches in your country.
Merry Christmas to you all - I always think of you from the swimming pool on Christmas day - 35 degrees C and a cold beer.
Email always welcome.
