That's all SOPA/SMAC ever was at NWA. The idea of the rigidity of NWA procedures has created this urban legend in the eyes of South pilots as to what SOPA/SMAC was. I still have a copy of my fleet SOPA/SMAC from NWA. It is virtually identical to my DAL Vol 1 Section 20 and my FCTM, right down to the graphics.

Vol 1 has tables that specify CA/FO and PF/PM actions, callouts, responses, etc. THAT is precisely what SOPA was at NWA.

FCTM has amplified discussions of maneuvers including full page graphics of various procedures such as takeoff profiles, engine out profiles, etc. THAT is precisely what SMAC was at NWA.
