OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND THE AIRPLANE
OPERATIONS MANUAL
The existence of fleets composed of airplanes or other kind of airplane
made by different manufacturers, led the Airworthiness Authorities to
require operators' certification, in addition to the airplane's certification.
The idea is to standardize manuals, training and operation, so as to
make it easier for a pilot to change equipment. As an example, if a
pilot used to fly an EMBRAER airplane (ERJ-145) is scheduled to fly
another EMBRAER airplane (EMBRAER 170/175/190/195), the
training syllabus required for both airplane families/models needs to be
very similar; the operator’s normal, abnormal and emergency
procedures presentation must be similar for all airplanes even when
there are different AFMs with different presentation for those
procedures, as well as the manuals for both airplanes. By doing so,
the operator will assure that human factors/errors are minimized.
Some operational requirements just define the main subjects that must
be presented in an Airplane Operations Manual matter. However, even
detailing the Airplane Operations Manual at that level, all the
requirements let the operators free to use different Airplane
Operations Manual structures, depending on the manuals that have
been already issued. Therefore, EMBRAER has developed this
Airplane Operations Manual trying to cover, in the best possible way,
the most currently used requirements. By doing so, it is possible for an
operator to use the EMBRAER Airplane Operations Manual by just
adding some missing information that is specific to that operator.
Following is a suggested Airplane Operations Manual structure to
comply with most of the Operation Requirements:
PART A
Presents operator’s administrative information, such as who are the
president , vice-president, the managers, who is the chief pilot for the
EMB-145, who is the responsible for revising manuals, where the
offices and bases are located, etc.
PART B
Presents airplane related information, like procedures, performance,
dispatch procedures, Weight and Balance, bulletins and systems
