IV. Requirements:
Each airlines and relevant enterprises and institutions shall comply with these two industry standards of “Flight Operation Quality Assurance Items Specifications Part 1: Airbus Family Aircraft” (MH/T 2005.1—2007) and “Flight Operation quality assurance Items Specifications Part 2: Boeing Family Aircraft” (MH/T 2005.2—2007) and base on the status quo of aircraft type being operated in their own entity to properly organize their respective revisions and implementations. The revised assurance items specifications on aircraft types shall not be less restrictive than the industry standards. Each CAAC Administration shall base on the requirements of The Administrative Regulations on Flight Operation Quality Assurance and refer to the items or articles of these two standards to periodically inspect and specify the airlines flight operation quality assurance, to continuously summarize the actual experience of flight operation quality assurance, to improve administration level and ensure with aviation operation safety.

FOM OVERVIEW
THE SYSTEM
The Flight Operations Monitoring System described here is centered on Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) complemented by crew observation and reporting tools in order to cover as many safety related elements as practically possible.
Flight Data Monitoring follows directly from the data recorded in the aircraft. It is currently the most powerful monitoring tool, providing complete, accurate and objective flight safety data that can cover all flights within an airline, with risk events being detected automatically.
However, FDM systems have their limitations: they cannot give information about event environment like weather, ATC and communication difficulties, or passenger disruptions. FDM systems cannot also detect certain events like navigational errors or assess the crews’ Human Factors skills displayed on the flight deck.
These "environmental" conditions can only be assessed by in flight crew observation or through the initiative of individuals to report events. Therefore, accurate and comprehensive Flight Crew Reports are a fundamental part of any flight safety program. In addition to handling the mandatory Air Safety Reports, that are legally required to be filed for an incident, Flight Crew Reports should also include voluntary and confidential Human Factors Reports.
To be really meaningful, crew observations should be taken from as wide a source as possible. Airline resources would not normally allow extra flight crews as observers on many routine flights. However on routes where difficulties are known to exist, for example if significant FDM events had been triggered, observer flights could be scheduled to establish the "environmental" conditions of the problems.
