Fortunately, my landings were reasonably good and I seldom scared myself.
So ... as a Capt. I've tried to make it my policy to give the f/o the odd number landings (only 1 landing - the f/o gets it, 3 landings - f/o gets 2, you get the idea).

Oh, and btw, had a sweet landing this morning with AP/AT off!
