Section 121.907

(b) A certificate holder is eligible
under this subpart if the certificate
holder is required or elects to have an
approved training program under
SectionSection 121.401, 135.3(c), or 135.341 of this
chapter.
(c) A certificate holder obtains approval of each proposed curriculum
under this AQP as specified in Section 121.909.
Section 121.903 General requirements for Advanced Qualification Programs.
(a) A curriculum approved under an
AQP may include elements of existing
training programs under part 121 and
part 135 of this chapter. Each curriculum must specify the make, model,
series or variant of aircraft and each
crewmember position or other positions to be covered by that curriculum.
Positions to be covered by the AQP
must include all flight crewmember positions, flight instructors, and evaluators and may include other positions, such as flight attendants, aircraft dispatchers, and other operations
personnel.
(b) Each certificate holder that obtains approval of an AQP under this
subpart must comply with all the requirements of the AQP and this subpart instead of the corresponding provisions of parts 61, 63, 65, 121, or 135 of
this chapter. However, each applicable
requirement of parts 61, 63, 65, 121, or
135 of this chapter, including but not
limited to practical test requirements,
that is not specifically addressed in the
AQP continues to apply to the certificate holder and to the individuals
being trained and qualified by the certificate holder. No person may be
trained under an AQP unless that AQP
has been approved by the FAA and the
person complies with all the requirements of the AQP and this subpart.
(c) No certificate holder that conducts its training program under this
subpart may use any person nor may
any person serve in any duty position
as a required crewmember, an aircraft
dispatcher, an instructor, or an evaluator, unless that person has satisfactorily accomplished, in a training program approved under this subpart for
the certificate holder, the training and
evaluation of proficiency required by
the AQP for that type airplane and
duty position.

(d) All documentation and data required under this subpart must be submitted in a form and manner acceptable to the FAA.
(e) Any training or evaluation required under an AQP that is satisfactorily completed in the calendar month
before or the calendar month after the
calendar month in which it is due is
considered to have been completed in
the calendar month it was due.
Section 121.905 Confidential commercial information.
(a) Each certificate holder that
claims that AQP information or data it
is submitting to the FAA is entitled to
confidential treatment under 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4) because it constitutes confidential commercial information as
described in 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), and
should be withheld from public disclosure, must include its request for confidentiality with each submission.
(b) When requesting confidentiality
for submitted information or data, the
certificate holder must:
(1) If the information or data is
transmitted electronically, embed the
claim of confidentiality within the
electronic record so the portions
claimed to be confidential are readily
apparent when received and reviewed.
(2) If the information or data is submitted in paper format, place the word
 - CONFIDENTIAL -  on the top of each
page containing information or data
claimed to be confidential.
(3) Justify the basis for a claim of
confidentiality under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4).
