AviationManuals Issues Updated Flight-planning Guide
Flight department manual and safety services specialist AviationManuals has issued an updated version of its flight planning guide.

Flight department manual and safety services specialist AviationManuals has issued an updated version of its flight-planning guide aimed at reducing errors in flight plans and helping streamline the letter of authorization (LOA) application process. The Maryland-based company analyzed thousands of LOA applications to update the guide and help users navigate their way through the many pitfalls in the process.

“More than 80 percent of applications fail because the equipment of the aircraft does not match what is being claimed and filed on the flight plan,” explained AviationManuals CEO Mark Baier. “There are a large number of codes available, and it can be difficult to determine which does apply under the right circumstances.”
