When aircraft operators complain about regulatory burdens, the requirement to keep manuals up to date commonly springs to mind. Manuals covering operations, maintenance, safety and security all have to be kept current. Technically, an operator is in breach of its air operator certificate if even one seemingly minor update is not incorporated in a manual. By extension, this can invalidate its insurance and leave it exposed to liability.
