Are op-specs public?
Are airline op-specs public documents? If I wanted to see, for example,
the op-specs that United Airlines operates under, could I get a copy from the FAA? |

Ours(um, not UAL) are controlled documents, not allowed to be released to the public. Its not likely you could get anyone to get you a copy in this day and age. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I am BillGatus of Borg. Resistance is futile.

Does the airline consider it confidential for business reasons, or does the FAA consider it confidential for national security reasons? |

Does the airline consider it confidential for business reasons, or does the FAA consider it confidential for national security reasons? There is a controlled docs statement on the front page of our Ops manual, and in it are our Ops Specs. There are, however, standard FAA Ops Specs that every airline or charter company under Pt 121, 123, 125 or 135 have.. normal and/or lower than standard T/O, Landing minimums, weather reporting, chain of control/command and requirments to hold a particular office(Chief Pilot, Dir of Ops,) etc.. .those you can get by calling the FAA Air Carrier office in Washington. You may be able to find them on the FAA's website too, but for specific air carrier, I wouldnt think so. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I am BillGatus of Borg.

Roy, Our General Ops Manual, which contains our Ops Specs, contains an opening statement that says: "Disclosure of the contents of this manual without the authorization of (company) is cause for employee dismissal." I'm not sure that a FOIA request wouldn't require the FAA to cough up their copies, though. Unless there is some clause in FOIA that protects proprietary information. Happy Flying! Scott Skylane |
