How frequently are FOM updates released?

Updates to the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) are issued primarily in response to significant operational changes to ensure that pilots and crew members have the most current procedures and policies. This approach maintains the relevance and accuracy of the manual, as it guarantees that all essential information reflects the most recent developments in operational guidelines, regulatory requirements, or safety protocols. Furthermore, if there are no major revisions necessary, updates are conducted on an annual basis to keep the manual fresh and useful, allowing for systematic reviews and adjustments at set intervals.

This strategy helps to ensure that flight crews are always informed about changes that impact safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance, facilitating smooth operations and adherence to best practices in aviation. It promotes a responsive and adaptive approach to training and operations, enhancing the overall safety and effectiveness of flight operations at Endeavor Air.
