In aviation, the pilot designated as being in charge of the aircraft and having the ultimate responsibility for its operation and safety during flight is known as the Pilot in Command (PIC).

The Pilot in Command (PIC) is the specific term for the pilot with final authority and responsibility for the aircraft.

The Co-pilot assists the Pilot in Command, and while both are pilots, only one is designated as the PIC for any given flight. The term “Flight Commander” is more commonly used in military aviation or specific operational contexts, not standard civil aviation terminology for the pilot in charge.
