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).
Similar here, my last landing in the right seat was my 300th, over 9yrs! My next landing in the left seat will be my 200th, over 4 yrs! I also give the odd landings to the FO, and usually give them the choice of legs rather than giving them another MEM leg!Originally Posted by MaydayMark
After I checked out in the left seat, I went back and looked at my (often infrequent) f/o landings. Over the 9 years I was an MD-11 f/o I averaged only 2 landings/month (due to rfo, high mins, BMP, etc. that means that many months I had ZERO). Fortunately, my landings were reasonably good and I seldom scared myself.So ... as a Capt.

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