Key Takeaways:
CAE has published an "Airplane Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual" to promote consistent, industry-wide standards in aviation.
These SOPs were developed collaboratively with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and other industry experts to enhance safety and operational consistency for both multi- and single-pilot operations.
The manual is particularly beneficial for smaller operators who may lack the resources to develop their own training programs and standardized procedures.
CAE will integrate these new SOPs into its worldwide pilot training programs, with instructor preparation starting in early 2026 and full implementation into training sessions by 2026.
