Land Immediately
Land as Soon as Possible
Land as Soon as Practicable
Land Immediately = execute a landing without delay
Land as Soon as Possible = land at the first site at which a safe landing can be made
Land as Soon as Practicable = extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot in command.
What is the pilot in command responsible for?
The pilot in command is responsible for the safe, orderly flight of the aircraft and well-being of the crew.
Can PIC be transferred in flight?
No. Additionally, the authority and responsibility of a pilot in command is independent of rank or seniority in relation to other persons participating in the mission or flight (except for two exceptions).
What are the exceptions where someone other than the PIC can direct the flight?
-A Wing, Group, or Squadron Commander if embarked, retains full authority and responsibility regarding command, including the mission in which participating.
-A Flag or General Officer embarked who is eligible for command at sea or in the field can exercise authority over the flight, but thereby assumes full responsibility for the safe and orderly conduct of the flight.
Can General or Flag Officers physically pilot the aircraft?
Only if they are NATOPS qualified in that TMS
When does the PIC need to be at the flight controls?
During critical phases of flight (i.e. takeoff, landing, formation flight, FCF, degraded aircraft performance, etc).
An IUT in a multi-piloted aircraft can occupy the flight controls during critical phases of flight so long as the PIC is in the flight station.
