A MS-Windows based electronic procedure system, called OPIS (Operation Procedure Information System), was developed. The system consists of two parts, the editor, for "writing" the produre, and the notepad application, for the usage of the procedures by the crew during training and flight. The system is based on a standardised, structured procedure format and language. It allows the embedding of sketches, photos, animated graphics and video sequences and the access to off- nominal procedures by linkage to an appropriate database. The system facilitates the work with procedures of different degrees of detail, depending on the training status of the crew. The development of an "language module" for the automatic translation of procedures, for example into Russian, is planned.
