Thank you for responding, and what I meant was "jurisdiction" ;-)
I guess you are right, and that one can interpret the word "jurisdiction" in both ways...
I confused myself when I started thinking about Annex 2 (Rules of the air) stating that the pilot-in-command always is responsible for the flight being conducted in accordance with....".
Based on that fact I basically assumed that the pilot-in-command always had "jurisdiction" over the a/c.
