17. Who is in Charge ? According to FAR 91.3….

18. Who is in Charge ? According to FAR 91.3…. (a) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft. (b) In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that emergency. (c) Each pilot in command who deviates from a rule under paragraph (b) of this section shall, upon the request of the Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator.

19. Who is in Charge ? Who is the Pilot In Command?

20. Who is in Charge ? Who is the Pilot In Command? In most cases it is relatively easy to determine the person responsible as pilot in command of an aircraft. The FARs generally define the term “pilot in command” as the person who (1) has final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of the flight; (2) has been designated as the pilot in command before or during the flight; and, (3) holds the appropriate category, class, and type rating, if appropriate, for the conduct of the flight.2
