                                             FLIGHT OPERATIONS NOTICE


     Origin: Operational Standards Group

To: All Pilots, Long and Short Haul

Effective Date: 01/05/95

Subject: Role Reversal During PICUS

        There appears to be some confusion over the new pilot role titles.  This
notice hopefully will clear up any misunderstandings.

        The title P1, P2 and Co-Pilot will now cease to have any meaning within
 the
BA operation manuals. They are to be replaced by: Handling Pilot, Non-
Handling Pilot, Handling Landing 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
takeoff 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 80 knots.

        The Non-Landing (Non-Handling since the Landing Pilot is handling) Pilot
reads the check list to the Handling Landing Pilot, until after the Before
Descent Checklist completion, when the Handling Landing Pilot hands handling
to the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot who then becomes the Handling
Non-Landing Pilot.

        The Landing Pilot is the Non-Handling Pilot until the "Decision
 Altitude"
or, 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 until the next call of
"Land" or, "Go Around", as appropriate.

        In view of recent confusion over these roles it was deemed necessary to
restate them clearly.
