Flight Manual飞行手册
A flight manual is the approved aircraft-specific document that defines operating limitations, normal and emergency procedures, performance data, and loading requirements for the flight crew. In translation and localization work it is handled as a controlled technical publication whose approved revisions and supplements must stay consistent with certified source data, because operators and regulators consult it to confirm safe operating conditions and configuration constraints.

Where this term appears
This term appears in pilot operating handbooks, quick reference cards, electronic flight bag applications, and aircraft delivery documentation. Translators encounter it when localizing manuals for new aircraft, revisions, or fleet transfers, often in XML or content management systems with strict terminology checks. In these projects the flight manual is usually part of the airworthiness documentation package, so translation queries go to technical writers and regulatory specialists.
Translation checks
A common error is translating mandatory terms such as “shall” or “must” as advisory wording, which weakens operating limitations and emergency actions. Another is merging the flight manual with a training manual or operations manual, causing the approved data to be presented as general guidance. These errors can create ambiguity about whether a procedure is required, affecting safety and regulatory compliance.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
