IFALPA Pilot Assistance Manual
This IFALPA Pilot Assistance Manual is intended to provide key information for Pilot Member Associations who wish to establish or enhance existing pilot support programmes. A central aim of the manual is to help operators and regulators understand the development and implementation of these programmes.
