Altitude selector usage…
 
I don’t want this to turn into a political debate, I just want to know what is the procedure at your company (SOP).

I would like this to be a survey/pole this on this matter… ideally company name and what is
your procedure would be nice to know.

#1 - Who manipulates the altitude selector when ATC gives you a climb or descent clearance, the PF or the PNF?

#2 - Is the procedure different if the PF is hand flying the aircraft?

Thank you.

1. PF makes FCU selections.
2. The PM makes selections if PF is hand flying.

Same in the airline I'm flying for. I will add that when the PF is handflying, the PM makes the selections only on PF's request.

1. PF makes selections on MCP. PM checks them.
2. PF ask for the selection, PM selects on MCP, PF checks.
