International Operations Manual Services by AVSOURCE

Flying overseas shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze. At AvSource, we create clear, concise International Operations Manuals (IOMs) that help you meet the complex requirements of special-use airspace. We take care of the red tape—so you can stay focused on flying safely and efficiently.

What Is an International Operations Manual?

An International Operations Manual (IOM) is a comprehensive guide that explains the rules and procedures pilots and ground staff must follow when flying in special airspace areas like RVSM, NAT HLA, and RNP. The manual covers important topics such as how to plan flights safely, make sure all regulations are met, and handle emergency situations. It’s designed to help everyone involved in the flight understand their responsibilities and ensure safe and smooth operations.

Why Choose AVSOURCE?

For years, AvSource has been supporting flight departments across the U.S. by providing up-to-date International Operations Manuals (IOMs) that ensure compliance. Each manual includes smart, digitized forms such as RVSM altitude deviation reports—that you can easily fill out on your iPad and submit directly to the appropriate Civil Aviation Authority with just a tap. It’s simple, efficient, and fully prepared to meet regulatory requirements.

The AvSource Difference

Our IOMs are made to be easy and efficient. They include handy hyperlinks for quick navigation, up-to-date references from the CAA, and work smoothly on iPads and Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs). Whether you’re applying for a Letter of Authorization or updating an older manual, AvSource provides a modern, ready-to-use solution you can rely on.

Customized Manual Creation

We develop an IOM that aligns with the provisions and guidance provided by FAA Advisory Circulars AC 91-70, 91-RVSM, 8400, 12A, and the FAA Handbook.

Maintenance Program Compilation:

Our specialists develop a tailored maintenance program for your aircraft, guaranteeing it adheres to all regulatory standards.

Special Use Airspace Application:

We complete the necessary applications for special use airspace, facilitating a smooth approval process.

Liaison with FAA Inspectors:

Our team interfaces with local FAA Operations, Maintenance/Airworthiness, and Avionics Inspectors on your behalf to obtain the LOA, allowing you to operate in special use airspace.

Our Process

If you ask about our process, here’s a breakdown of how we do it!

  • Collect necessary information and documents using a provided checklist.
  • Compile your International Operations Manual (IOM) and application within 7 days of receiving required materials.
  • Submit your manual and application to the relevant authorities.
  • Work closely with your FSDO (Flight Standards District Office) to ensure timely submission and approval of your Letter of Authorization (LOA).
  • Expedite the process to ensure your LOA is issued promptly.

Key Considerations

It’s important to note that while aircraft may be equipped and certified, the LOA is issued to the operator and, by regulations, is non-transferable. This underscores the necessity of having a tailored IOM that meets all operational and regulatory standards.

I met Azmat Shah 15 years ago when he conducted our original Stage 1 Audit. Over the years, we have used Az for additional audits and have always found him fair and thorough. More importantly, though, Az has been our go-to source for advice on manuals, procedures, and implementations. His years of audit experience and background in business aviation have given him a wealth of perspective. His approach to problem-solving has served us well.
