What QRH Means

QRH stands for

Quick Reference Handbook

The QRH is derived from the FCOM and revised in step with it. Its design constraint is that it will be read under the worst conditions the operation produces.

A QRH out of step with its FCOM is not a documentation defect; it is an operational hazard, which is the clearest illustration of why derived documents need a managed relationship to their source rather than a copy of it.
