Flight Crew Control Clause Samples
Flight Crew Control. The captain of the Flight Crew for each flight of an Aircraft shall be responsible for the technical operation of the Aircraft and safe performance of the flight and shall retain full authority, control and possession of the Aircraft. In particular, the captain of the Aircraft shall for the purpose of safe performance of the flight have reasonable discretion in all matters concerning the preparation of the Aircraft for the flight, the load carried and its distribution, insofar as such matters affect the safety of the Aircraft, the decision whether or not a flight shall be undertaken, and all other matters relating to the technical operation of the Aircraft. The operation of the Aircraft shall be carried out in accordance with the standards and practices of ABX as set out in its Flight Operations Manual and other operating manuals as approved by the FAA.
Flight Crew Control. The flight crew shall have full and exclusive authority to exercise all of its duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder in accordance with applicable FAR. Each Co-Owner shall be considered and, in fact, will be in operational control of the Aircraft when that Co-Owner uses the Aircraft. Each Co-Owner specifically agrees that the flight crew, in its sole discretion, may terminate any flight, refuse to commence any flight, or take other action which in the considered judgment of the pilot in command is necessitated by considerations of safety. No such action of the pilot in command shall create or support any liability for loss, injury, damage or delay to any Co-Owner or any other person. The Co-Owners further agree that no party shall be liable for delay or failure to furnish or return the Aircraft or crew pursuant to this Joint Ownership Agreement when such failure is caused by government regulation or authority, mechanical difficulty, war, civil commotion, strikes or labor disputes, weather conditions, or acts of God.
