Which source provides the applicable procedures for overwater operations?

• A. FOM Flag/Overwater Operations chapter
• B. JetBlue OPSPEC
• C. The applicable QRH for overwater procedures
• D. FCOM

Answer: (C)

Overwater procedures are handled through the aircraft’s Quick Reference Handbook. The QRH is where you’ll find the aircraft-specific, step-by-step actions to take during abnormal or emergency situations that can occur on an overwater leg. It is designed for use in flight and is regularly updated to reflect operator and aircraft-specific requirements, ensuring the exact actions are documented and tested for those conditions. The other sources play different roles: the FOM’s overwater chapter provides general policy and guidance for conducting overwater operations, not the exact action steps to follow in an event. The FCOM covers normal flight procedures and some abnormal ones, but it relies on the QRH for the precise, in-the-moment procedures used during emergencies. OPSPECs define approval and equipment permissions rather than procedural steps.
