This manual provides guidance and best practices for the development of air operator policies, procedures, and pilot training that support safe and effective use of modern flight deck systems for flight path management (FPM) in commercial air transport operations. It promotes an integrated approach to managing aircraft trajectory and energy state through the appropriate use of manual flight operations, automated systems, monitoring, and energy management, while emphasizing that maintaining the desired flight path is the highest priority for all pilots. The guidance supports operators in enhancing pilot competence, operational resilience, and flight safety through consistent training, operational practices, and effective management of both manual and automated flight.
