The manual is periodically revised to incorporate pertinent procedural and
systems information. Items of a more critical nature will be incorporated in
operational bulletins and distributed in a timely manner. In all cases, such
revisions and changes must remain compatible with the approved AFM with
which the operator must comply. In the event of conflict with the AFM, the AFM
shall supersede.
This manual is written under the assumption that the user has had previous multi–
engine jet aircraft experience and is familiar with basic jet airplane systems and
basic pilot techniques common to airplanes of this type. Therefore, the FCOM
does not contain basic flight information that is considered prerequisite training.
