Organisation Factors

Organisation factors can influence SOPs. The SOPs employed by an organisation will depend broadly upon:

• Type of Operation: Private flying, flight training, voucher/introductory flights.
• Organisational Culture: How is SMS feedback used?
• Economic Factors: SOPs can produce cost savings.
• External Cockpit Activities: Can be influenced by local, national or international regulations.
• Aircraft: Different aircraft may require different SOPs.
