AOCM-legally enforceable ??.
A bit of feedback lately about the policies within the Air Operator Certification Manual (AOCM ) being contrary to 'operator' SOP, policy and established practice. (Read Chief Pilots tearing out remaining hair). Apparently (so the stories go) it's the policy way or no way.
Take out the hard option of testing the policy against law in court, it seems, that you are stuck with no issued approval, or, no written directive to comply and; precious little option other than to obey.
IF it was tested, properly; then what. Suppose you had the time, money and persistence; is a policy legally enforceable over the Act or Regs (as writ)??
