AIRCRAFT SAFETY. The operation of aircraft constitutes a significant hazard. Pilots in Command (PIC) are responsible for the aircraft and the lives of passengers and crew. In addition to other guidance on aircraft safety, PIC will not fly into or land in known hostile fire areas and will ensure that passengers are instructed in the principles of aircraft safety. Aircraft will maintain a minimum safe distance (no less than 200 meters) from any known hostile elements (out of effective small arms range) when initially inserting law enforcement personnel who will be responsible for establishing and securing landing zones for further operations. Weapons carried on board aircraft will be secured by and be the responsibility of the law enforcement personnel to whom the weapon is issued. Firearms will not be discharged from aircraft or motor vehicles.

AIRCRAFT SAFETY. The pilot-in-command of the aircraft is authorized to take all necessary measures to assure safety. The pilot-in-command, in coordination with CARRIER and as prescribed in CARRIER’s manuals and procedures approved by the cognizant government authority, shall have complete discretion and final authority as to operation of the aircraft including but not limited to all matters relating to passengers, loading, load and distribution, whether and in what manner any flight shall be carried out, whether there shall be deviation from the specified routing, where landings shall be made, whether to refuse passage to, or to deplane, any person whose condition might involve hazard or risk to himself, other passengers or property, and other matters bearing on operation of the aircraft. Such determination by the pilot-in-command shall be binding upon CHARTERER and all passengers.
AIRCRAFT SAFETY. As aircraft safety is of paramount importance, the pilot in command (PIC) is responsible for the aircraft and the lives of all passengers and the crew. A PIC will not fly into or land in a known hostile fire area. The PIC will ensure that all passengers are instructed in the principles of aircraft safety. Aviation support provided shall be conducted in compliance with Army and F.A.A. regulations. The PIC shall be the final authority in all matters concerning the safe accomplishment of the mission. The PIC will ensure that all passengers and ground support crews are provided with a briefing covering General Aviation Safety, mission to be flown and specific safety considerations of the mission. Weapons, flares or other incendiary devices or projectiles shall not be discharged from National Guard aircraft whether in the air or on the ground. Weapons carried on board an aircraft will not have chambered rounds. Each aircraft involved in counter drug missions shall have at least one law enforcement agent on board. It will be the responsibility of the Agency to provide the national Guard, or the PIC, with an accurate manifest of passengers. The National Guard, or the PIC, is the final authority concerning the number of passengers allowed, the size of the loads allowed, and the operations in or near the aircraft. When transporting DOI personnel the National Guard will assure pilot in command has a minimum of 500 hours pilot time experience. If available National Guard personnel are unable to meet this requirement the National Guard will refuse the mission request.
AIRCRAFT SAFETY. The operation of aircraft constitutes a significant potential hazard. Pilots in command (PIC) are responsible for the aircraft and the lives of passengers and crew. In addition to other guidance on aircraft safety, PIC will not fly into or land in known hostile fire areas and will ensure passengers are instructed in the principles of aircraft safety. Aircraft should maintain a minimum safe distance (no less than 200 meters) from any known hostile elements (out of effective small arms range) when initially inserting law enforcement personnel responsible to establish and secure landing zones for further operations. Aviation personnel will familiarize themselves with the Adjutant General's and State Aviation Officer's "Aviation Safety Philosophy" published in the SDARNG Aviation SOP.
