ORO.GEN.110 - List of aircraft for which the OM is
applicable
AMC1 ORO.MLR.100
- Aircraft dimensions
- List of modifications (STC, AD, SB…)
impacting the manual
- Reference to manufacturer manuals
(AFM, AFM supplement, FCOM,
CODDE, AOM…)
The operator shall establish a checklist system for
each aircraft type to be used by crew members in
all phases of flight under normal, abnormal and
emergency conditions to ensure that the
operating procedures in the operations manual
are followed. The design and utilisation of
checklists shall observe human factors principles
and take into account the latest relevant
documentation from the aircraft manufacturer.
Material produced by the operator for the type-
related part of the OM may be supplemented
with, or substituted by, applicable parts of the
aircraft flight manual (AFM) or, where such a
document exists, by an aircraft operating manual
produced by the manufacturer of the aircraft.
If the operator chooses to use material from
another source in the OM, either the applicable

material should be copied and included directly in
the relevant part of the OM, or the OM should
contain a reference to the appropriate section of
that applicable material.
If the operator chooses to make use of material
from another source (e.g. a route manual
producer, an aircraft manufacturer or a training
organisation), this does not absolve the operator
from the responsibility of verifying the
applicability and suitability of this material. Any
material received from an external source should
be given its status by a statement in the OM.

CAT.OP.MPA.130 (a) Except for VFR operations of other-than-
complex motor-powered aeroplanes, the operator
AMC1 CAT.OP.MPA.130 shall establish appropriate operating departure
CAT.OP.MPA.131 and arrival/approach procedures for each
aeroplane type taking into account the need to
minimise the effect of aircraft noise.
(b) The procedures shall:
(1) ensure that safety has priority over noise
abatement; and
(2) be simple and safe to operate with no
significant increase in crew workload during
critical phases of flight.
(a) For each aeroplane type two departure
procedures should be defined, in accordance with
ICAO Doc. 8168 (Procedures for Air Navigation
Services, ‘PANS-OPS’), Volume I:
(1) noise abatement departure procedure one
(NADP 1), designed to meet the close-in noise
abatement objective; and
(2) noise abatement departure procedure two
(NADP 2), designed to meet the distant noise
abatement objective.
(b) For each type of NADP (1 and 2), a single climb
profile should be specified for use at all
aerodromes, which is associated with a single
sequence of actions. The NADP 1 and NADP 2
profiles may be identical.
Helicopters:
(a) The operator shall ensure that take-off and

minimise the effect of helicopter noise.
