How often should an ATCFO review the facility manual and facility directives/interim changes?

Regularly updating critical procedures is about keeping operations aligned with current rules and practices. The facility manual and directives should be reviewed on an annual cycle to confirm that all procedures, responsibilities, and contact points reflect the latest policies, regulatory changes, and organizational structure. An annual cadence makes it feasible to implement updates across the organization, document changes, retrain staff as needed, and maintain an auditable trail. Interim changes should still be monitored and incorporated as they are issued, but deferring a full update beyond a year risks procedures becoming outdated, while updating more frequently than annually can create unnecessary disruption. Therefore, the best practice is to conduct a comprehensive review once a year.
