Fact or satirical fiction?

I guess it's time to repost this:

(A recent update to the British Airways Flight Operations Manual)
Flight Operations Department Notice, Operational
Origin: Operational Standards Group to: All fleets - long and short haul.
Eff. Date: 01-05-95.
Subject: Pilot 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 titles P1, P2 and copilot will now cease to have any meaning within the
BA operations 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 checklists to the Handling Landing Pilot until after the Before
Descent Checklist completion, when the Handling Landing Pilot hands the
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"
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 confusion over these roles, it was deemed necessary to
restate them clearly.

Except on alternate tuesdays beginning with the first tuesday
of March, 1847.

The only exception is if the date is a prime number.

Alternately, if the temperature is above 280 degrees kelvin, the
roles can be redefined by the passengers as they see fit.

On the other hand, if the stewardess is a male in drag, then
the first officer must use the latrine and divine the answer
from the pattern of the bubbles in the loo.

No, I'm not confused. Makes perfect sense to me.

Hyperintelligent shades of the color blue are exempt from all the
above and must report directly to the mice.

The controlling visibility, once a flight is at or past the
FAF, is flight visibility. If the pilot can see the
required distance, he has minimums and can land. Commercial
operations can't make the approach to "look see" unless the
reported visibility is above minimums, but can continue if
at/past the FAF. Part 91 can fly the approach in any
condition, but must have the required items identified at DH
and have the flight visibility to land.

Jim, Jim, Jim...... All that is very nice, and proves you can regurgitate
arcana with the best of them, but doesn't answer my question. The report as
posted seems to indicate that the ILS minimums of the approach in question
are 200 and 3/8 mile. Is that legit? All the time I was flying, basic ILS
minimums were 200 and 1/2.

I can't answer that because I never saw the airport or
approach identified, so I can't look it up. Was it in the
USA or Europe? But if there was an accident, the current
reported weather would be reported.

Not at all. In fact, the FAA encourages us airline types to re-do all
our manuals and checklists to include references to PF and PNF, as
opposed to Captain and First Officer, in situations that describe who is
actually manipulating the flight controls.

And when solo, am I both PF and PNF?

Happy Flying(or Not Flying)!

Surely that should be HF and HNF!

What surprised (and dismayed) me most about going back to aviation
after fifty years was the insane proliferation of acronyms.

That, and spelling "mike" as "mic".

That, and pronouncing Baker as Bravo. (Alpha didn't bother me somehow,
nor Delta; perhaps I was Aristotle in a previous incarnation.)
