Method used by operator to advise employees of amendments to flying procedures

Concern summary

The reporter expressed a safety concern related to the methods of advising employees of amendments to flying procedures.

The reporter advised that revised technical information was sent to flight crew using email which is outside the regulatory framework of Flight Standing Orders, raising doubt as to the validity of the information. The information related to amendments to the terrain ‘escape procedures’ (routing and altitude requirements, in the event of performance loss [engine failure] /emergency descent [depressurisation]).

Reporter comment: This flight crew member is unsure if an operation was conducted with incorrect documentation, as e-mail is not part of the operational documentation suite.
