Too many accidents

Maybe when there are two, experienced, pilots on board, the dynamics change - both waiting for each other to take control and recover when things go wrong? Not an accident, but... I was once in the back of my friend's two seater and we had been in a straight line cruise towards home for quite some time.Â* At about 5-10 miles out he said that he'd take over now.Â* What?Â* I thought you were flying! There should never be waiting to take over; the pilot flying should take action when something goes wrong.Â* And there should always be a positive transfer of control when switching over. -- Dan, 5J |
