SOP Flashcards
Flight Schedule Procedures (WO-1)
The SDO is responsible for overseeing the execution of the execution of the daily flight schedule. When the changes to the flight schedule need to be made, those changes must be annotated on the master flight schedule and approved by the CO. In the absence of the CO, the XO, or in the absence of the XO, the Ops O may approve the changes. If none of the above personnel are available, the SDO is authroized to make the required change. When a change is made, the SDO, shall ensure all requirements of CNAF have been met.
When conducting embarked det ops, changes to a published flight schedule SHALL be approved by teh ships CO and the Det OIC
WX criteria (WO-2)
