For example, I've never flown the B737 before. During the missed approach I couldn't see the radial to the holding fix on the displays. After the pilot in the right seat pulled the gear and flaps up I asked him where it was displayed and he flipped some switches for me and pointed it out to me. Doing that checked some important boxes for them. I used my right seat pilot in a very CRM way and I showed situational awareness trying to get on the published missed approach after a busy maneuver. Keep talking to the pilot in the right seat about what you need and they'll help you with what you need to pass. You don't have to be the ace of the base, you just need to be trainable.
