In a multicrew environment, who is responsible for the tone, pace, outcome of decisions made, and will be held accountable for all outcomes in air carrier flights?
A
First officer.
B
Air carrier.
C
Captain.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
The captain, as pilot in command, is the final authority for the operation (91.3, 121.533(e)) and, as AC 120-51 describes, sets the tone and pace of the flight deck and is accountable for the outcome of decisions. The first officer contributes but does not carry that accountability.
