Extract

The aim of this paper is to trace the evolution of the flight documentation of Concorde, with special emphasis on crew operating procedure, and to make some generalised predictions of the impact of recent technology on the methods of operating aircraft in the future.

The overall process of Concorde certification has been described elsewhere, the aspect with which we are concerned here being the approval of the aircraft’s operating procedures. The generation of these procedures is an involved process, one which started for Concorde in December 1967, with many possible difficulties foreseen in the aircraft operational sphere and neither of the prototypes having flown.
