Off the subject, but for the military folks...is it standard military procedure for both pilots to have their hands on the yoke during takeoff and landing.
I can almost understand a check airman doing it with a new student, but watching an F/O with his hands on the yoke during the Capt's leg doesn't seem like a UPS procedure and the FOM specifically states...one person on the control at any one time.
Just curious, if I'm missing something. Or, should I be flying the plane with Capt on the T/Os and landing ????
Sorry for the detour...PM me with an answer is fine.
Confused newhire,

Thanks guys for the answers. I usually fly as the IRO and observe a lot from the Food Critic's seat.
Ok, back to the original thread...what was it again ????
