Said pilot has hence the Authority to act as a Commander and the Trainer has the Authority to override the decisions as it remains the responsible of the flight.
Considering the RTO manouver, as it is a time critical decision, both pilots will hence be entitled to decide and the manouver will be conducted to its completion. Should the need of an Emergency Evacuation arise, the Trainee Captain will state the decision (yes/no) and the Trainer will confirm it prior to the execution.
Should the Trainee Captain decide on an RTO that was unnecessary leading to an incident and/or accident, the legality is ensured by the above regulation that empowers the trainee of the necessary skills to command a RTO, as they have been satisfactorily demonstrated to the Operator and the Authority during the completion of the OPC. Subsequently all the necessary contributing factors and investigations will obviously be put in place.
Hi Sonicbum,
Very Interesting,
- Fully Accepting he/she has completed an OPC operating as Commander (with no legal Jeopardy)
- Is this statement "
Should the Trainee Captain decide on an RTO that was unnecessary leading to an incident and/or accident, the legality is ensured by the above regulation that empowers the trainee of the necessary skills to command a RTO, as they have been satisfactorily demonstrated to the Operator and the Authority during the completion of the OPC. Subsequently all the necessary contributing factors and investigations will obviously be put in place".your company extrapolation of 205 or is the Boeing FCOM superseded directly with these exact words somewhere else?
- How does this relate to two line Captains flying together in your company (can RHS non tech log signing skipper command the reject )?
Thanks
