B727-200 FLC OVERSHOOT CTRLINE OF RWY FOR WHICH THEY ARE CLRED AFTER REQUESTING THAT RWY. APCH PROCS.

Narrative

CAPT WAS FLYING ACFT. APPROX 12 NM W OF SLC APCH CTL ISSUED US A CLRNC TO FLY HDG 50 DEGS AND EXPECT VISUAL APCH TO RWY 16R. WE WERE LEVEL 11000 FT MSL. AS WE GOT TO WITHIN 5 NM OF ARPT; CAPT BECAME NERVOUS AND ASKED FOR ME TO CONFIRM HDG. I ASKED IF APCH WANTED US TO CONTINUE ON 50 DEGS AND THEY ASKED IF ARPT IN SIGHT. CAPT SAID YES; SO I DID ALSO TO APCH. WE WERE CLRED FOR VISUAL APCH TO RWY 16R SLC; CONTACT TWR. THE CAPT SAID WHAT A POOR JOB OF CTLING IT HAD BEEN AND HOW WE WERE IN A TIGHT SPOT. I MENTIONED THAT ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS TURN L TO APPROX N; SLOW DOWN (CAPT HAD BEEN FLYING AT 250 KIAS); CONFIGURE AND IN ABOUT 2-3 MI TURN R AND LINE UP ON FINAL. THE CAPT STAYED ON HDG 50 DEGS AND TOLD ME TO ASK FOR RWY 16L. I DID THIS ON TWR FREQ FOR RWY 16R. THEY SAID YES; CLRED TO LAND RWY 16L; CONTACT THE OTHER TWR FREQ. THE CAPT FINALLY STARTS HIS R TURN. HE STARTS TO SLOW DOWN AND CONFIGURE. I TALK TO THE TWR FOR RWY 16L AND CONFIRM OUR CLRNC TO LAND. AT THIS POINT WE OVERSHOOT APPROX 1/2 MI E OF THE CTRLINE OF RWY 17. TWR CLRS US TO LAND ON RWY 16L AND ASKS IF WE ARE CORRECTING. I SAID YES. THIS ENTIRE TIME THE CAPT AND THE ENGINEER ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE POOR SVC WE HAVE RECEIVED IN THE SALT LAKE AREA. WE FINALLY CORRECT BACK; FINISH OUR CHKLISTS AND LAND UNEVENTFULLY. THE CAPT WAS THE SORT THAT ALWAYS TOLD ME EXACTLY HOW TO FLY THE AIRPLANE ON MY LEGS. HE SEEMED GENUINELY UNCOMFORTABLE WHENEVER HE WAS NOT FLYING AND ABOUT HALF OF THE TIME WHEN HE WAS. I THINK HE HAS A VERY LOW CONFIDENCE LEVEL AND THEREFORE DOES NOT TRUST ANYBODY ELSE. HE SEEMS ABLE TO DO THINGS ONLY 1 WAY AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK; IS AT A LOSS.
