How frequently are pilots required to review the FOM?

Pilots are required to review the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) regularly as well as whenever there are updates or changes. This requirement is essential because the FOM contains critical information regarding operational procedures, safety protocols, and regulatory compliance that can directly impact flight safety and efficiency. Regular reviews ensure that pilots remain up-to-date with the latest practices and procedures, which is particularly important in an industry where regulations and operational standards can change frequently. Additionally, being informed of updates or changes allows pilots to adapt to new protocols or safety measures effectively. This ongoing engagement with the FOM fosters a culture of safety and preparedness in flight operations.
