> Subject: Airline cross fleet standardization philosophies
>
> Hello to everyone,
>
> I am looking for information on operator cross fleet standardization
> philosophies with respect to cockpit standard operating procedures
> (SOPs), call outs and check lists (i.e. EXCLUDING the hardware).
>
> Are this kind of philosophies often written in operator manuals? If
> they
> are and are also available, could someone post examples to the list? I
> am especially interested in fleets with mixed generation and
> manufacturer aircraft.
>
> What are Your opinions on this? How much should the SOPs, call outs
> and
> check lists be standardized between different generation and
> manufacturer aircraft within an operator? Which quidelines should be
> used?
>
> This information would be used on my masters thesis at the Helsinki
> University of Technology (Finland). The topic is cross fleet
> standardization of SOPs, call outs and check lists in a fleet of
> different generation aircraft.
