Key Takeaways:
CAE has published an "Airplane Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual" to promote industry-wide adoption of consistent safety procedures in aviation.
These SOPs were developed collaboratively with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), aircraft manufacturers, operators, and other training experts.
The manual aims to enhance operational consistency and safety across the industry, particularly benefiting smaller operators who may lack resources to develop their own SOPs.
CAE will integrate these new SOPs into its worldwide pilot training programs, with instructor preparation beginning in early 2026 and introduction into training sessions starting in 2026.
