When is an IRAC used?

An IRAC, or Instructional Readiness Assessment Consideration, is utilized specifically when there is a change or update to a publication. This process is critical in ensuring that personnel remain current and informed about updated procedures, safety guidelines, and best practices that may impact operations. When a publication is modified, it often entails alterations that could significantly affect crew readiness, safety protocols, or maintenance procedures. Using an IRAC in this instance ensures that those involved are aware of the new information and can adapt their training and operations accordingly, maintaining operational effectiveness and safety standards within the fleet.
