While the following standard operating procedures expose Airline Career Pilot Program students to airline-style crew procedures and standardization, there are some very important differences that pilots must understand between airline operations and ATP crew cross-country flights. ATP crew cross-countries are Part 91 flight operations. According to FAR §91.3, the PIC (occupying the left seat of the aircraft and who is listed on the flight plan as PIC), “is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft”. While ATP Flight Operations may be able to provide information and support in some instances, they have no legal joint responsibility, authority, or operational control over any flight whatsoever. ATP Flight Operations' primary function is to facilitate scheduling and aircraft availability for an efficient crew cross-country experience. ATP Flight Operations personnel cannot assist with PIC decision-making. They cannot determine the airworthiness status of an aircraft. They cannot direct or influence a PIC’s decision to initiate, continue, cancel, or terminate any flight. According to FAR §91.3, no one but the PIC is responsible for the operation of any flight. According to FAR §91.3, the PIC is responsible for all operational decisions pertaining to a flight. This includes: • The go / no-go decision based on preflight planning • Airworthiness determination • Any decisions to divert, cancel, or terminate a flight • All other safety or operational decision-making Under FAR §91.3, the PIC is solely responsible for the safety and outcome of the flight. §91.3 Responsibility & Authority • 1 SECTION 2 Crew Procedures Overview Crew cross-country flights allow pilots in
