The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), FlightSafety International and CAE announced the publication of industrywide aircraft standard operating procedures (SOPs), a key resource years in the making that marks a new milestone in business aviation safety and consistency.
The new Airplane Standard Operating Procedures Manual represents the culmination of a long-standing effort aimed at helping aircraft operators follow the same, proven standards in multi- and single-pilot operations. The manual incorporates best practices developed with input from business aircraft operators of all sizes, manufacturers and training experts.
Crews can expect to see the new SOPs during training events at FlightSafety International and CAE in summer 2026, giving operators time to become familiar with the new standards.
