Talk:Pilot in command

message: Since this page seems to be about a legal concept common to many jurisdictions, I think that should be made clear in the first sentence somehow.  Also I don't think the sentence, "The PIC must be legally certified to operate the aircraft for the specific flight and flight conditions, but need not be actually manipulating the controls at any given moment." is strictly true.  There are times the PIC needs no certification, for example, PICs of ultralight aircraft in the United States need none.  67.160.147.2 (talk) 19:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I added this tag to the page and modifications have been made to include ICAO definitions, but I still feel that it needs the tag included?  Rather than just change the page I figured I would solicit opinions and see if we could reach a concensus...  RP459 (talk) 19:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you feel that something is missing, for example, the rules or definitions in some specific country that you believe differ from the ICAO (international) or the FAA (U.S.), then please add it, with proper references. But to slap a blanket template on the article only defaces it, without adding any new information. Crum375 (talk) 01:43, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I respectfully disagree with you, I do not think it defaces it, but helps an unsuspecting reader to understand that while this article deals with a global topic (that of being a pilot in command of an aircraft) it really only talks about the US PIC in any detail.

replies: text: Can you point to one specific rule or definition relating to PIC that is different in some country from the ICAO (international) or FAA (U.S.)? Crum375 (talk) 01:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The recently created page Captain (aeronautical) appears to have substantial overlap with this page and I suggest that its content should be incorporated here (where appropriate). Jimmy Pitt (talk) 09:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I disagree with the comment about the PIC always being able to log PIC. It might be different at the ATPL level, but for a PPL or CPL, you can't log PIC unless you're the sole manipulator of the controls or a required crew member. 50.73.20.19 (talk) 01:25, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The legal PIC will always log as PIC. Other pilots on board may do under certain circumstances. cagliost (talk) 09:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Any idea why the PIC of a civilian aircraft sits in the left hand seat while those in helicopters sit in the right hand seat?
