CHECK M – JAR-OPS 3 Operations Manual Check List
Notes for completion of the checklist:
1. Please enter the Operations Manual reference in the appropriate boxes, e.g. Part
A, [Link]
2. # Items may not be required for your operations. Please explain briefly in the
“Operations manual Reference” column why any item not required is inapplicable.
3. Return this checklist with the completed manuals. The manual entries will be
checked for conformity with the appropriate and relevant JARs.
Manuals submitted without a checklist or with a partially completed list will take
longer to review than those accompanied by a list in accordance with this
guidance.
