An aircraft flight manual (AFM) is a paper book or electronic information set containing information required to operate an aircraft of certain type or particular aircraft of that type (each AFM is tailored for a specific aircraft, though aircraft of the same type naturally have very similar AFMs). The information within an AFM is also referred to as Technical Airworthiness Data (TAWD). A typical flight manual will contain the following: operating limitations, Normal/Abnormal/Emergency operating procedures, performance data and loading information.
An AFM will often include:
V speeds
Aircraft gross weight
Maximum ramp weight
Maximum takeoff weight
Manufacturer's empty weight
Operating empty weight
Centre of gravity limitations
Zero-fuel weight
Takeoff distance
Landing distance
Originally, an AFM would follow whichever format and order the manufacturer felt appropriate. Eventually, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association came to an agreement to standardize in GAMA Specification No. 1 the format of AFM's for general aviation airplanes and helicopters known as the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH).
The chapters of a POH always follow the format of:
General
Limitations
Emergency Procedures
Normal Procedures
Performance
Weight and Balance/Equipment List
Systems Description
Handling, Service, and Maintenance
Supplements
