Browsing through my old mail I found this marked for review. Credit Radu for this!

British Airways memorandum, quoted in Pilot Magazine, December 1996.

“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. In view of recent confusions over these rules, it was deemed necessary to restate them clearly.”
