V1.1

Brief for the arrival, including coverage of those areas not actually to be flown by
the Second Officer (final approach, runway and taxiway information).
The use of auto pilot for descent should be a matter of airmanship, considering
weather, traffic and workload. Auto flight may provide a safer environment and
reduces workload for the PNF as well.
Monitor weather on the descent with particular attention to Anti-Ice requirements,
turbulence and the state of cabin preparation.
Monitor the descent profile and make adjustments as necessary to regain profile.
S/Os should be guided in the success of their descent by the subsequent
actions of the PF.
Seat changes must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the
FAM.
Maintain an active interest in the remainder of the sector once the control seat is
vacated.
Take an active part in the post flight assessment of the crew's performance. S/Os
are encouraged to ask for constructive criticism. Input from the F/O should be
encouraged.
Captains should note the Company requirements for training reports for
new S/Os. The multi-file has training forms and these can be used as
guidance for de-briefing subjects.
