• Check aircraft prior to flights to ensure that the engines, controls, instruments, and other systems are functioning properly.
• Contact control towers for takeoff clearances, arrival instructions, and other information, using radio equipment.
• Start engines, operate controls, and pilot airplanes to transport passengers, mail, or freight, while adhering to flight plans, regulations, and procedures.
• Monitor engine operation, fuel consumption, and functioning of aircraft systems during flights.
• Consider airport altitudes, outside temperatures, plane weights, and wind speeds and directions in order to calculate the speed needed to become airborne.
• Order changes in fuel supplies, loads, routes, or schedules to ensure safety of flights.
• Obtain and review data such as load weights, fuel supplies, weather conditions, and flight schedules in order to determine flight plans, and to see if changes might be necessary.
• Plan flights, following government and company regulations, using aeronautical charts and navigation instruments.
• Use instrumentation to pilot aircraft when visibility is poor.
• Check baggage or cargo to ensure that it has been loaded correctly.
• Request changes in altitudes or routes as circumstances dictate.
• Choose routes, altitudes, and speeds that will provide the fastest, safest, and smoothest flights.
• Coordinate flight activities with ground crews and air-traffic control, and inform crew members of flight and test procedures.
• Write specified information in flight records, such as flight times, altitudes flown, and fuel consumption.
• Teach company regulations and procedures to other pilots.
• Instruct other pilots and student pilots in aircraft operations.
• Co-pilot aircraft, or perform captain's duties if required.
• File instrument flight plans with air traffic control so that flights can be coordinated with other air traffic.
• Conduct in-flight tests and evaluations at specified altitudes and in all types of weather, in order to determine the receptivity and other characteristics of equipment and systems.
• Rescue and evacuate injured persons.
• Supervise other crew members.
• Perform minor aircraft maintenance and repair work, or arrange for major maintenance.
• Fly with other pilots or pilot-license applicants to evaluate their proficiency.
• Plan and formulate flight activities and test schedules, and prepare flight evaluation reports.
• Pilot airplanes or helicopters over farmlands at low altitudes to dust or spray fields with fertilizers, fungicides, or pesticides.
• Check the flight performance of new and experimental planes.
