What type of flight operations does the FOM specifically cover?

The Flight Operations Manual (FOM) is designed to provide comprehensive guidance on all aspects of flight operations. This includes the procedures and protocols associated with pre-flight planning, in-flight operations, post-flight procedures, and even emergency situations. By covering these various elements, the FOM ensures that all crew members are adequately prepared to manage the entire flight process, enhancing safety and efficiency.

In contrast, the other options limit the scope of the manual to specific phases of flight operations. Focusing solely on pre-flight planning, post-flight procedures, or emergency situations would not encompass the full range of knowledge required for pilots and crew members to operate effectively. The inclusion of all operational aspects in the FOM promotes a more integrated approach to aviation safety and management, which is essential for successful flight operations.
