just one model of aircraft or UAV. As such, a general series NATOPS manual is subject to the
same standardized formatting requirements as NATOPS flight manuals, but its chapters are
organized appropriately for the subject addressed by the publication title.
1.4.1.3 NATOPS flight manual supplement. A NATOPS flight manual supplement is one
that contains some of the information mandated for inclusion in the NATOPS flight manual, but
for convenience is printed under separate cover (see 6.7g.). As such, the NATOPS supplement is
an extension of the basic NATOPS flight manual. Technical content of a NATOPS supplement
should follow the same order of arrangement specified for formal NATOPS flight manuals, with
no requirement that all parts or chapters of parts be present. All other requirements for format
and content and arrangement of front matter and indices should apply. Common types of
NATOPS manual supplements include the following:
1.4.1.3.1 Systems or weapon systems supplement. A system or weapon systems supplement
is published when there is extensive system or weapon systems information or when systems or
weapon systems differ between aircraft.
1.4.1.3.2 Aircrew operator supplement. An aircrew operator supplement is published when
aircraft systems operating instructions concern only one or several of the aircrew members.
1.4.1.3.3 Special mission supplement. A special mission supplement provides general
information and checklists for special flight missions not included in the basic mission profiles
presented in the NATOPS flight manual.
1.4.1.3.4 Aircraft performance data supplement. An aircraft performance data supplement
is published when aircraft performance data are applicable to several aircraft NATOPS flight
manuals or when the volume of the performance data is sufficiently large enough to be bound as
a separate publication to reduce the size of the NATOPS flight manual.
1.4.1.4 NATOPS partial flight manual. A NATOPS partial manual is intended for use with a
NATOPS flight manual, some parts of which are replaced by the partial manual. A NATOPS
partial flight manual provides operating instructions for aircraft that differ from the basic aircraft
series by model or through modification. The format and method of reproduction are the same as
specified for the NATOPS flight manual. Content should be only the additional information
necessary to cover the differences between the standard aircraft and those modified. The differ-
ence data should be presented under a paragraph heading corresponding to that contained in the
NATOPS flight manual. If the data are not related to a specific system or paragraph heading, new
headings may be established. Each chapter should contain an introductory statement, as appropri-
ate, that refers to the basic publication and states, "Except for the following, all other systems
descriptions, operating procedures, and/or limitations are covered in NAVAIR ______." If normal
or emergency procedures are changed from the formal flight manual, the entire procedure, chapter,
or part (if the part is not subdivided into chapters) should be included in the partial flight manual.
Specific approval to vary from this provision must be granted by NAVAIR 4.0P or CNAF N455.
1.4.1.5 Commercial Derivative Aircraft (CDA) NATOPS flight manuals. CDA NATOPS
Flight manuals have been prepared for some Navy and Marine Corps aircraft that are configured
and utilized in a manner similar to their commercial passenger and cargo transport counterparts.
Because the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) flight manuals and checklist publica-
tions are updated by the aircraft manufacturer on a regular basis and the information in them
