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.

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

FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR
SPECIAL EMPHASIS PROGRAM
In response to a high number of aircraft accidents and
incidents involving flight training aircraft, the Orlando
and Tampa FSDO along with the FAA Safety Program
Managers initiated the first Flight Instructor Special
Emphasis Program on September 1, 1998.
This program has evolved into one of the most
important activities conducted by the FAA Safety
Team or FAASTeam in the North Florida FSDO area of
responsibility. This has become a model for similar CFI
programs across the country.

Risk Management: A Definition
The part of the decisionmaking process that relies on
• Situational awareness
• Problem recognition, and
• Good judgment
to reduce risks associated
with each flight.

Risk Management
Before you make decisions, you must:
1. Identify risk factors (hazards)
2. Assess their likelihood
3. Evaluate their severity

Defining Terms: Hazard
• A present condition, event, object, or
circumstance that could lead to or
contribute to an unplanned or undesired
event such as an accident.
• Is it a source of danger?
DPE Workshop
June 04, 2013
Federal Aviation

63
Defining Terms: Risk
The future impact of a hazard that is not
controlled or eliminated.
1. Future uncertainty created by the hazard.
2. If it involves skill sets, the same situation
may yield different risks.
3. Could also be described as the “degree of
uncertainty.”

Types of Risk
• Total Risk: The sum of identified and unidentified
risks.
• Identified Risk: Risk that has been determined.
• Unidentified Risk: Often identified only after an
accident.
• Unacceptable Risk: Can’t be tolerated. Must be
eliminated or controlled.
• Acceptable Risk: Identified but managed.
• Residual Risk: Remains after mitigation attempts.

Risk Management
• The method used to control, eliminate, or
reduce hazards.
• Unique to each individual based on skills,
knowledge, training, and experience.
• A decision-making process designed to
systematically identify hazards, assess risk,
and determine the best course of action.
