It is the pilot who will make the final decision as to weather a flight will proceed or not, and also it will be for the pilot to conduct the flight in a manner that is in accordance with legal guidelines for the jurisdiction in which the flight is taking place. On occasions a flight may be restricted by Air Traffic Control or another body/person, physical or environmental factor that is beyond the control of SHANWEB. On all occasions SHANWEB must be content that a flight can be completed safely and legally. If it cannot, then the flight will not proceed under these parameters.
