This procedure is called a positive exchange of controls. Under normal circumstances it is a three step process:
Pilot 1: "You have the controls" Pilot 2: "I have the controls" Pilot 1: "You have the controls"
This process removes ambiguity, ensuring that both pilots are situationally aware.
According to the voice recording (VFR data), we can hear Brett James say “Jesus, take the wheel”.
The VFR does not register a response from Jesus. Some have speculated that he was distracted, others say it may be a technical malfunction. Many others are speculating that he actually never existed.
Unfortunately Brett James does not follow positive exchange of controls procedure, he never confirms that Jesus has the controls, and this is a fatal mistake.
