Performance Standard (MOPS)
provides standards for specific equipment useful to
designers, manufacturers, installers and users of the
equipment
Compliance with MOPS is
recommended as one means of
assuring the equipment will
perform its intended function(s)
satisfactorily under all
conditions normally
encountered in routine
aeronautical operations.
Example: Specific
