THE AVIATION PLACE

Filling the space between Danger and Safety

FAQS: OPS

Information, news and answers on all things operational. Written in black & white, plain and simple. More FAQS: OPs equal less FK UPs.

The International Aviation World is filled with threats and hazards, global events and challenges, procedures and regulations which can confuse, bemuse and mess up your operations.

The trouble is, they are often not written about in a way that you – a HUMAN – can easily use them. Or they are, but maybe you can’t find it when you need it.

 

So here is a whole collection of all of that, written better, to help you understand it, find the answers you need and generally navigate the world more easily*.

*by navigate we mean get through it with less fk ups along the way.
