hey guys.
Maybe the answer to this question is obvious but I wasn't sure so I decided to ask you - experts
When I was flying in a 762 (in a cockpit) and when we were landing I asked the pilots who will be landing. Just for a joke you know So the first officer said taht he will which surprised me a lot. Captain said that he has to learn and all taht stuff so yeah. We performed ILS but then at the end first officer took the control and landed the aircraft himslef without any help of the Captain. Have to add taht it was one of the smoothest landing i have witnessed
Anyway my question. Is it common for first officers to land aircrafts? I mean I thought that all that they do is just the secondary work (like papers, comm, etc.) and not landing. Also are they cases when first officer flies the whole flight jsut like the captain and vice versa ?
Please hel pwith this question. I know Anthony works as first officer so maybe he can tell from his experience
Thanks
