A.2. PIC Responsibility
The PIC is responsible for all aspects of the flight including all radio transmissions. The PIC has the authority to delegate duties during any aviation mission. This responsibility and authority for the mission exists from the time the PIC accepts the mission through the flight planning for the mission and until completion of the mission. It is imperative that flight crewmembers understand this authority. The successful completion of the mission, as well as the safety of all crew members, may well be jeopardized if the scope of this authority is not clearly understood.
Section B. Observer Skills
Introduction
This section describes the necessary skills required of the Auxiliary observer.
B.1. Maintaining Communication
It is generally the responsibility of the observer to maintain communication with the Coast Guard and/or Auxiliary unit that is maintaining the radio guard. In this case, the observer is also responsible for informing the pilot of radio messages received. Depending on the equipment configuration in the aircraft, the pilot may or may not be able to hear the communications between observer and ground.
Non-standard external communications should be cleared with the pilot prior to transmission. Proper radio procedures (see Section C of Chapter 6) should be adhered to at all times.
B.2. Radio Familiarity
The observer must be familiar with the operation of the marine radio that is aboard the Auxiliary aircraft. The observer should be able to obtain and understand National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) marine weather as received on the weather frequencies. Important information includes sea conditions, the presence of fog, the presence and movement of thunderstorms, and the forecast of surface winds for over-the-water areas. The observer should periodically check the marine weather if practical and pass on to the pilot any significant information that could affect the mission.
