Managing Pilot Sample Clauses

Managing Pilot. The Operating Agreement requires the designation of a Managing Pilot. In many cases, this might just be the owner. But when the owner is a corporation or otherwise not the primary pilot, we designate a Managing Pilot so that we have a direct relation to the human making decisions about who flies the aircraft. This is important because it ensures there is a single responsible person who has been through some level of ICON training and understands some of the key limitations and operational considerations of the A5. The Managing Pilot may be changed at any time with the filing of a one-page form with ICON and an understanding that the new Managing Pilot agrees to the same conditions. We require that everyone receives ICON-authorized training. This requirement continues even beyond the initial purchaser and applies to all subsequent operators even if the aircraft is resold. While the A5 can go from airport to airport like other transportation-focused planes, it’s really in its element when flown away from the airport environment, exploring remote locations and bodies of water at lower altitudes and away from the typical Air Traffic Control (ATC) infrastructure. This kind of flying is much more akin to what is commonly called “▇▇▇▇ flying.” Most General Aviation pilots have not had much experience in this unique environment. ICON is committed to ensuring all customers have the basic skills to safely operate in this type of rewarding flying environment. Many aircraft companies learned the hard way about the importance of having a robust training program for their customers and introduced them only after an adverse accident experience. We have the benefit of learning from them and implementing training from the start.
