“Sir, since the former VP is such a VIP, shouldn’t we keep the PC on the QT? Because if it falls into the hands of the VC, he could end up an MIA, then we’d all be put on KP…”

@ Jarhead - Good to go?

Oldie but goodie:

 

There appears to be some confusion over new pilot roles and their titles. This notice will hopefully clear up any misunderstandings. The titles P-1, P-2 (or pilot flying and pilot not flying) and Co-pilot will now cease to have any meaning in operations manuals. These terms will be replaced by `Handling Pilot,' `Non-handling Pilot,' `Handling Landing Pilot,' `Non-handling Landing Pilot,' `Handling Non-landing Pilot,' and `Non-handling Non-landing Pilot.

 

Role Description:

 

The Landing Pilot is the Handling Pilot and will handle the take-off and landing except in role reversal when he is the Handling Pilot for taxi and takeoff until he hands the handling to the current Non-Handling Pilot, who then becomes the Handling Pilot and the Landing Pilot (which makes him the Handling Landing Pilot) at eighty knots. The role reversal is complete when the previously Handling Non-Landing Pilot assumes the role of the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot.

 

The Non-Landing (and Non-Handling, since the Landing Pilot is Handling) Pilot reads the checklist to the Handling Landing Pilot until after the Before Descent Checklist completion, when the Handling Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot, who then becomes the Handling Non-Landing Pilot, leaving the previously Handling Landing Pilot to assume the correct role of Non-Handling Landing Pilot, and the instrument approach may begin.

 

We must stress that the Landing Pilot is the Non-Handling Pilot until the "decision altitude" call, when, if the landing is to be made, the Handling Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Landing Pilot, where the roles are reversed, and the previously Handling Non-Landing Pilot becomes the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot, and the previously Non-Handling Landing Pilot becomes the Handling Landing Pilot -- unless the original Non-Handling Landing Pilot calls "go-around," in which case the original Handling Non-Landing Pilot continues Handling and the Non-Handling Landing Pilot continues Non-Handling until the next approach and the call of "land" or "go-around," as appropriate, is made.

 

We all hope this clarifies what may have been difficult to understand. Thank you for your attention.

 

Funny thing, but if you use terms 'Pilot Flying' and 'Pilot Not Flying' and call this a 'monitored approach'...it makes perfect sense!

I'll have you know the weather is NOT always the same here. In fact, today is two degrees cooler than yesterday.
