Hi Intruder,

Yes of course, Like I said, I’m a company guy and I try my best to be a professionnal. Maybe “not too rigid about the books” was not the correct wording. What I mean to say is that sometimes our FOM and SOPM don’t match. In that particular case, our FOM is missleading. If you comply blindy to that paragrah about noise abatement, then you shall not do NADP departure. Our SOPM has no restriction for NADP. That’s why I said I’m not too rigid about it. Especially when some instructors teach you to do things which are against it.
I would only apply minor violations from SOP for a good reason. Not trying to be a cowboy. = )
