January 25, 2008, Newsletter Issue #56: Understanding the Changing Rules of Aircraft Charter Safety

Tip of the Week

During an emergency situation, the pilot may deviate from the rules relating to aircraft equipment and weather minimums to deal with the emergency. The pilot in command is the last authority over the safety of the flight and can take whatever action is necessary to safeguard passengers, even if it means landing somewhere and removing a hostile passenger, rerouting the flight to another destination or ending the flight completely. If the pilot does deviate, he must send a complete report of the aircraft operation involved, including a description of the deviation and reasons for it to the FAA Flight Standards District Office within 10 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays. In addition, whenever a pilot encounters a potentially hazardous meteorological condition or an irregularity in a ground communications or navigational facility in flight, the pilot is required to report it to the proper ground service.
