Flight Command

Flight command is the leadership role responsible for directing an aircraft's mission, navigation, and safety during flight. It involves making strategic decisions about route, altitude, and timing, coordinating with air traffic control and crew, and ensuring the aircraft operates efficiently and securely. The flight command oversees the entire flight process, addressing any operational issues and adapting plans as needed, to achieve mission objectives while maintaining safety standards. Essentially, they act as the senior decision-maker guiding the aircraft from departure to arrival.
