Airline Pilot Duties

Pilots are responsible for the operation of the aircraft, the safety of the passengers and crew members, and all flight decisions once in the air. They must maintain a highly professional image in both conduct and personal appearance, and communicate with the passengers and crew during flights.

Pilots typically report to work an hour before departure in order to meet with flight crew and review weather and airport conditions. The captain then goes through a series of safety checklists with the first officer. Every instrument is checked and double-checked. In addition, the captain communicates with the air traffic controller and the ground crew in preparation for takeoff. During takeoff, landing, and during the flight, the pilots continue to communicate with one another as well as with the air traffic controllers.
