a.
NATOPS was developed because it
was determined that major contributing
factors to the high accident rate were:
(1) Wide variations in ground and
flight procedures among pilots and
squadrons flying the same aircraft
type and model
(2) Wide variations in cockpit layouts
between squadrons, and even
within squadrons, operating the
same aircraft type and model
b.
NATOPS has standardized aircraft
type and model operating procedures
and cockpit layout
