D328 CAPT FOUND THE QRH IN 2 ACFT HAD MISSING PAGES.

Narrative

HAVING COMPLETED FLT; SWAPPED INTO NEW ACFT FOR NEXT FLT. A CURSORY INSPECTION; QUITE BY CHANCE; OF THE NEW ACFT'S QRH; I DISCOVERED THAT 11 OF 34 EMER PROCS WERE MISSING FROM THE QRH. I THEN RETRIEVED THE QRH FROM THE ACFT WE HAD JUST FLOWN AND SWAPPED OUT OF SO THAT I COULD MAKE COPIES OF THE MISSING PROCS. I THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE QRH FROM THE ACFT WE HAD JUST FLOWN ALSO HAD 6 EMER PROCS MISSING. I CONTACTED DISPATCH AND HAD THEM FAX ME THE MISSING PROCS AND I THEN REPLACED THE MISSING PROCS IN BOTH QRH'S. BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER AND VARIETY OF THE MANUALS THAT WE AS PLTS CARRY WITH US AND RELY ON AS PART OF THE ACFT'S EQUIP; WE ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO VERIFY THAT THE LATEST REVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THEM. THE PARTS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR UPDATING THE MANUALS INTEGRAL TO THE ACFT ARE NOT PLTS AND DO NOT INTERFACE MUCH WITH FLT CREWS. WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THESE INDIVIDUALS FOR THE PROPER EXECUTION OF THEIR DUTIES. A MORE LAYERED APCH TO MANUAL UPDATING MAY HAVE CAUGHT THIS PROB. THE POSSIBILITY ALSO EXISTS THAT THESE PAGES WERE TORN OUT OR OTHERWISE EJECTED FROM THE HANDBOOKS DURING NORMAL OPS. A STOUTER PAPER TYPE OR REINFORCED EDGED PAPER USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A POSITIVELY LOCKING BINDER WOULD HELP PREVENT THESE POSSIBILITIES. THANKFULLY; IF A PROC WAS FOUND TO BE MISSING FROM THE QRH IN AN ACTUAL EMER; EACH PLT ALSO HAS A COPY OF THESE PROCS IN THEIR FLT STANDARDS MANUALS THAT THEY CARRY WITH THEM. HOWEVER; TRAINING IS NOT PROVIDED TO PREPARE US TO USE THESE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES IF THIS SIT WERE TO ARISE; AND EVEN IF IT WAS PROVIDED; OR THE CREW INDEPENDENTLY THOUGHT TO USE THIS ADDITIONAL RESOURCE; A SIGNIFICANT DELAY WOULD BE ENCOUNTERED IN THE EXECUTION OF ANY MISSING EMER PROCS WHILE THE CREW GAINED ACCESS TO THEIR FSM'S AND LOCATED THE APPROPRIATE PROCS. AS SUCH; THE SAFETY OF FLT COULD BE SERIOUSLY DEGRADED.
