A safety pilot is normally required to act as a safety pilot during base and line training. He is intended to fulfill the following functions :
─ To take over command of the aircraft in an event of incapacitation of the Commander/Instructor, and to land as soon as possible.
─ To monitor safe operation of the aircraft during periods of high workload (i.e. take-off, landing, traffic congestion or approach).
─ To alert the Commander/Instructor on :
  • Omission of any procedures by crew, and
  • External threats.
A safety pilot may be any crew qualified to operate from at least one of the pilot seats on the relevant aircraft type.

A safety pilot is not intended to fulfill any training role. However, he is expected to assist the Instructor and Trainee in any manner considered appropriate to the circumstances prevailing during flight or ground operations. The safety pilot must occupy a flight deck jump seat during all critical phases of flight, and when specifically directed by the Instructor. The safety pilot shall be briefed by the Instructor on all relevant requirements, prior to first flight of the duty.
