systems information the flight crew needs to safely and efficiently operate
the 737.
• serve as a comprehensive reference for use during transition training for
the 737 airplane
• serve as a review guide for use in recurrent training and proficiency
checks
• provide necessary operational data from the approved airplane flight
manual (AFM) to ensure that legal requirements are satisfied
• establish standardized procedures and practices to enhance Gol Linhas
Aéreas S.A. operational philosophy and policy.
The procedures included in this manual reflect the company policy for pilots to
follow during ground operations and inflight. Deviations from these policies and
procedures should be made only with good cause and bases on the safest course
of action. If an abnormality occurs that is not covered by these procedures, the
Captain must use his best judgment.
