The 787 AFM is less of a "how-to-fly" manual and more of a legal and performance contract between Boeing, the airline, and the regulator. The airplane flies so autonomously that the AFM’s primary job today is defining the limits around the automation.

Behind the Book: The Boeing 787 AFM (Airplane Flight Manual)

Unlike the classic "steam gauge" jets, the 787’s AFM isn't just a paper binder in the sidewall pocket. It is a performance-driven, electronic-linked document designed for both efficiency and extreme envelope protection.

Because the fuselage is carbon fiber (instead of aluminum), the AFM has specific sections regarding fire penetration and lightning strike inspections. Unlike aluminum, composite doesn't conduct electricity well, so the AFM directs crews to check specific burn-through points on the fuselage skin.
