Riddle me this!
It has probably been up before, but after a google search on the net, I found this piece of literature from nzwings which is sure to make you go cross-eyed!
"Received a few years back while HC was still having her nap, but too good to pass over, was this Air Nelson memo voted the most unreadable. See if you can get a handle on it ...
T lhere appears to be some confusion over the new pilot role titles. This notice will hopefully clear up any misunderstandings.
The titles PF and PNF will now cease to have any meaning within the Air Nelson Operations Manual. They are to be replaced by Handling Pilot, Non-Handling Pilot, Non-Handling Landing Pilot, Handling Non-Landing Pilot and Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot.
The Landing Pilot is initially the Handling Pilot and will handle the take-off and landing, except in role reversal, when he is the Non-Handling Pilot for taxi, until the Handling Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Landing Pilot at 70 knots.
The Non-Landing (Non-Handling, since the Landing Pilot is handling) Pilot reads the checklist to the Handling Pilot until the Before Descent Checklist completion, when the Handling Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pi 7lot, who then becomes the Handling Non-Landing pilot.
The Landing Pilot is the Non-Handling Pilot until the "Decision Altitude" call, when the Handling Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Landing Pilot, unless the latter calls "Go Around" in which case the Handling Non-Landing Pilot continues handling and the Non-Handling Landing Pilot continues non-handling until the next call of "Land" or "Go Around", as appropriate."
