Flight Operation Manual

[smfav8r]

But if your operating under 91K everything in the manual needs to be stamped with FAA approval....that's why I asked if they were operating under 91K....91K is much like 135 when it comes to a FOM/GOM.

We use our FOM as kind of a pilot contract. It is a line in the sand that the owners don't push us to cross. But, I don't doubt for a second that the Feds would use the FOM against you if you dinged the airplane or had a violation that was caused or contributed to by not adhering to the FOM.

I used to work for a large Part 91 Operator where two of our pilots were involved in a major accident (no one injured). The FAA didn't care what our Ops Manual said. However, the company used the Ops Manual to fire the pilots! Funny thing was, we were always told to disregard the manual because it was only a guideline.

Watch your A$$!

As far as the FAA is concerned, "ops manual? What ops manual?"

As others have pointed out, insurance or company management might have an issue, though...
