INTRODUCTION
The Flight Attendant Manual Standard itemizes the minimum standards for content which an air operator
must include in the publication of a flight attendant manual. When developing a flight attendant manual
for regulatory approval, the air operator must extract the components from the standard which are
applicable to their operation.
APPLICATION
The Flight Attendant Manual Standard is divided into two parts:
PART A
This part establishes the safety and emergency procedures information which must be contained in the
flight attendant manual; issued to each flight attendant; readily available for reference during flight; and is
approved by Transport Canada.
PART B
This part establishes additional information which is not required to be readily available for reference
during flight. It must be issued to each flight attendant; does not require approval; and is audited by
Transport Canada.
Notwithstanding the above an air operator may choose to issue both parts in one publication.
Each part shall be kept up-to-date by the flight attendant and contain at least the following:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
a table of contents
a list of effective pages
amending procedures
amendment control page
preamble
the date of the last amendment to each page specified on that page.
a reference to each applicable regulatory requirement
Note: Optional items, guidance information, recommended practices, explanations and other information
items will be italicized and where practicable, shown in an enclosed box. These items do not form part
of the standard, but provide additional information for the assistance of users of this standard.
Information published in an air operators Flight Attendant Manual may be organized in a different order
than that presented in this Standard, however, the air operator must provide a detailed index/cross
reference.

Note: The carrier must develop procedures in a format that crew members may use when
preparing for an emergency landing or ditching that will serve as a checklist. The selected format
must include responsibilities of each crew member for the purpose of cabin; passenger; galley;
and self-preparation. All passenger advisory announcements must be included.
Page 2-6
TP 12295 E
PART A
Note: Most accidents occur during take-off and landing, therefore, in keeping with the principles
of risk management, an air operator must tailor their post-evacuation and survival techniques to
the environment in with their stations are located. For example, an air operator that operates in
and out of an arctic station would address post evacuation procedures relative to arctic conditions.
However, an air operator that overflies an arctic station does not require arctic survival.
