Who is authorized to capture a picture or video during flight operations?

In flight operations, keeping the aircraft under close watch and maintaining situational awareness is the top priority. The Pilot Monitoring is the crew member whose job is to handle nonessential tasks and support the Pilot In Command without taking attention away from flying and monitoring the flight. Taking pictures or video is a noncritical task that can be delegated to the PM so the PIC can stay focused on flight control, navigation, and ATC communications. The PIC remains responsible for safety and can authorize or request the PM to perform this task as long as it doesn’t interfere with duties. Passengers aren’t part of the cockpit crew and aren’t authorized to perform cockpit duties, and assigning this to any crew member isn’t appropriate because it must stay with the role designed to handle nonessential tasks.
