Observer

·      primary purpose: visual lookout crewmember, often in rear seat

·      may be tasked for any purpose assigned by the PIC

PNAC

·      PNAC – the pilot not manipulating the aircraft flight controls.

·      shall constantly monitor all maneuvers being performed by the PAC, bringing attention to deviations from normal operations and potentially unsafe situations, regardless of differences in designations/rank.

·      should handle any cockpit duty that may potentially distract the PAC from flying the aircraft.

·      Note

o   The PNAC should notify the PAC before changing avionics, moving a switch or resetting/pulling a circuit breaker.

PAC

·      PAC – the pilot manipulating the aircraft flight controls.

·      Cockpit duties that may interfere with the PAC's ability to maintain flight within established parameters should be delegated to the PNAC, aircrewman or observer.
