§ 121.663 Responsibility for dispatch
release: Domestic and flag oper-
ations.
Each certificate holder conducting
domestic or flag operations shall pre-
pare a dispatch release for each flight
between specified points, based on in-
formation furnished by an authorized
aircraft dispatcher. The pilot in com-
mand and an authorized aircraft dis-
patcher shall sign the release only if
they both believe that the flight can be

patcher may delegate authority to sign
a release for a particular flight, but he
may not delegate his authority to dis-
patch.

§ 121.665 Load manifest.
Each certificate holder is responsible
for the preparation and accuracy of a
load manifest form before each takeoff.
The form must be prepared and signed
for each flight by employees of the cer-
tificate holder who have the duty of su-
pervising the loading of aircraft and
preparing the load manifest forms or
by other qualified persons authorized
by the certificate holder.
§ 121.667 Flight plan: VFR and IFR:
Supplemental operations.
(a) No person may take off an air-
craft unless the pilot in command has
filed a flight plan, containing the ap-
propriate information required by part
91, with the nearest FAA communica-
tion station or appropriate military
station or, when operating outside the
United States, with other appropriate
authority. However, if communications
facilities are not readily available, the
pilot in command shall file the flight
plan as soon as practicable after the
aircraft is airborne. A flight plan must
continue in effect for all parts of the
flight.
(b) When flights are operated into
military airports, the arrival or com-
pletion notice required by §§ 91.153 and
91.169 may be filed with the appropriate
airport control tower or aeronautical
communication facility used for that
airport.
