remote pilot designated as having responsibility for the uncrewed aircraft in-flight
NOTE: The RPIC holds the leadership position within a designated flight crew. In a multi-crew operation, the flight crew might consist of more than one remote pilot, and control of the uncrewed aircraft might be handed over between them at various points during the flight. However, in such cases, only one remote pilot is designated as the remote pilot in command, and this does not normally change over the course of a single flight.
