FYI... ;)

The JAA shut down on the 31st of December 2007 and JAR-OPS has been replaced by EU-OPS 1 as of last month. EU-OPS 1 has the same value as an EU law and must be enforced in all EU countries without exception.

What you're looking for is worth dozens of thousand euros, so I'm not entirely sure you'll find a good soul giving it away for free. But you definitely can try !

On the other hand, the era where you could buy a "generic" JAR-OPS manual (i.e. Jeppesen) and continue doing something totally different is over. Whatever you manage to get, if you plan to use it in an airline or commercial operator you'll have to spend a lot of time tailoring it.

Ok, understood, but what does it change ? Does that airline is indeed willing to implement anything that's written in an Ops Manual taken from another company ? Can they afford it ? Is it at least feasible in their country ? Or do they just want to have a "generic but shiny manual" that stays in a shelf while the airline is working differently ?

In any case, even an African airline should keep track of current requirements, not out-dated ones. It may not look like it, but Europe and ICAO are currently in the process of upgrading their requirements and the changes are not to be overlooked (SMS being the biggest chunk to chew).

In other words, use caution. By saving a few CFAs on short term you might loose a lot more in the long run. Don't play games with ICAO requirements. That's the real standard any non-EU airline should meet and exceed, not the EU ones. Who gives a damn if the airlines in Zambia are EU-OPS-compliant ? Good for them, but if they met ICAO standards that would already be a good start... to stay away from the Black List.

That was my free advice of the day 8-)
