Piloting aircraft (incl. helicopters) with the use of navigation instruments and aircraft computer systems with the aim of high-quality, safe and economical flight operations, in compliance with all the valid standards and regulations, including handling of emergency situations and decision making in critical moments (e.g. technical failures, sudden changes in weather conditions, etc.). Auxiliary pilot (or co-pilot) activities (i.e. if the captain or first officer flies the airplane), which include controlling aero-engines, auxiliary control systems, communication with air traffic control (ATC), navigation duties using navigation systems and instruments.
Other activities include studying the flight schedule and weather forecast, consulting on various aspects with the captain/first officer and other crew members, pre-flight checking of aircraft equipment and instruments, communication with the airport control tower and other air bases, cooperation with the captain/first officer in the preparation of flight schedules, calculation of fuel consumption, etc. If the aircraft is approved for single-pilot flights, the pilot authorised to fly such an airplane becomes automatically the captain.
