It is indeed necessary to keep your PIC authority when your at the controls, I’ve seen it even in my simulator at home.

Some? Sorry, but let’s look past being polite on this one.

It’s most!

IMHO, this is THE number one safety problem in aviation today. Spend any time listening to a CTAF or ATC frequency,and you will hear it incessantly – failure to comprehend where PIC begins … and ends.

-Couple of high profile incidents in the state of NY? Check.
-VFR Pilatus buzzed by an F-16 in an MOA over AZ? Check.
- Cirrus over the Rockies in ice? Check.

Greatest example of PIC? Sully, hands down.

“Unable. We’re going to be in the river.”

155 survivors.

Check.
