Tee-Emm
If you're going to use a quote from one of my posts, maybe use the whole sentence in context next time, I said, "The single most important factor in keeping you on the right side of the law is to have it written down in SOP's and to be clearly seen to be discharging your responsibilities".
I wasn't suggesting for a minute that the Ops Manual be used as an arse covering document, but that procedures (obviously) and information must be communicated to flight ops personnel, and that of course includes flight safety related publications. A failure to do so, in my opinion, might be seen as a failure to discarge your responsibilities and that the publication of the flight safety digest should go ahead- that was my point.
