      FCOM PURPOSE
      The Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) is the support documentation for flight crews. It provides them with the necessary information about the operational, technical, procedural, and performance characteristics of the aircraft, to ensure safe and efficient operations of the aircraft during normal and abnormal/emergency situations, that may occur on ground, or in flight.
      The manual is not designed to provide basic jet aircraft piloting techniques, or information, that are considered as basic airmanship for trained flight crews that are familiar with that type of aircraft and with its general handling characteristics.
      The FCOM is intended to be used:
      ‐ Directly as flight crew operating manual or to provide operators with a basis for their development of a customized airline operations manual, in accordance with applicable requirements
      ‐ As a comprehensive reference guide during initial and refresher Fight Crew Training.
      Practical and training-oriented information is addressed in the Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM). Refer to FCTM/OP01-Introduction. Moreover, the FCOM is not intended to be used for teaching basic piloting skills. The Flight Crew Operating Manual complements the approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM). If the data contained in this manual differs from the data in the AFM, the AFM remains the reference.
