"There appears to be some confusion over the new pilot role titles. This notice will hopefully clear up any misunderstandings
'The titles P1, P2 and Co-Pilot will now cease to have any meaning. They are to 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.
'The Landing Pilot is initially the Handling Pilot and will handle the take-off and landing,
except in role reversal when he is the Non-Handling Pilot for taxi, until the Handling
Non-Landing Pilot hands the Handling to the Landing Pilot at eighty knots.
"The Non-Landing (Non-Handling, since the Landing Pilot is handling) Pilot reads the
checklist to the Handling 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.
"The Landing Pilot is the Non-Handling Pilot until the "decision altitude" call, when the
Handling Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Landing Pilot, unless the
latter calls "go-around", in which case the Handling Non-Landing Pilot, continues handling
and the Non-Handling Landing Pilot continues non-handling until the next call of "land" or
"go-around", as appropriate -
"In view of the recent confusion over these rules, it was deemed necessary to restate them
dearly."
