 A visitor from Brazil posted Sun March 16, 2008:
As the Australian visitor has said, the skipper in the left hand seat is being checked and the other one is the check captain.
To land at Santos-Dumont Airport (SBRJ), the captain must have a special training in reason of the short lenght of the runway (and First Officers aren't allowed to land there).
Ah, and those captains are not twins - not even brothers :-p

I guess if it comes to the crunch time, My question is who will be in charge? The one with the highest senority? |

Such a wonderful view. This is almost perfect. Its a nice photo and the photographer just captured the cockpit right except for some shadows on the overhead controls. I've read confusions about speedbrake, in my experience, what the autobrake means is the auto-wheel brake (see the small white knob just left of the landing gear lever) when the plane touches down. In this case it is set to maximum wheel braking. And yes, flaps are set to full. |

Note the new 737NG-style MCP! Great details, twin pilots, and an amazing approach. A complete package. 5***** |

Nice pic, and yes the captains look like twins! |
 A visitor from Australia posted Thu August 9, 2007:
Wow, what an approach. Yes there are two captains. The skipper in the right hand seat is no doubt a check captain and the skipper in the left hand seat is no doubt the pilot being checked. I'd say he's being checked out for that particular approach or quite possibly has just upgraded to the 737 from a smaller aircraft. |

Excellent! An amazing view.
And someone said speedbrake is set to armed? Correct, but he said auto-breaks ;) |

Never been to rio yet but what a panoramic dream picture what a view , ps dont forget the airplane. |
 A visitor from Spain posted Sat August 4, 2007:
I guess yo mean flaps (40º) because speed brake is set as "armed" |
