Key Takeaways:
CAE has published an "Airplane Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual" to promote consistent and proven standards for aviation safety.
These industry-wide SOPs were developed in collaboration with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), aircraft manufacturers, operators, and other training experts.
The manual aims to support operational consistency across the industry, particularly benefiting smaller operations that may lack resources to develop their own SOPs.
CAE plans to integrate these new SOPs into its worldwide pilot training programs, with instructor preparation starting in early 2026 and implementation into training sessions beginning the same year.
