Read the transcript yesterday of the 54 minute conversation the pilot had with the control tower..I dont know if the transcript is fully accurate since it was translated from English to Chinese and back to English..but did only the co-pilot speak during that time? If so, isnt that kind of weird, that the pilot Shah said nothing or is that normal for one person to do all the talking
No. Usually one pilot handles the controls and the other handles the radios.
Normal, Pilot flying flies, Pilot not flying (PNF) handles the communications.
