Explanation
The Pilot in Command (PIC) is the individual aboard an aircraft who is legally responsible for its operation and safety during flight. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and India's Aircraft Rules, 1937, the PIC is the pilot designated by the operator as being in command and charged with the safe conduct of a flight.
- The PIC has the final authority over the operation and disposition of the aircraft while in command.
- A Co-pilot (or First Officer) is a pilot who assists the PIC but does not hold the primary legal responsibility for the aircraft's safety.
- While terms like "Captain" or "Flight Commander" are often used as professional titles or ranks within airlines and military units, Pilot in Command is the specific regulatory and legal term for the role described.
