Section 121.913

(3) Subject to approval by the FAA,
certificate holders may elect, where
appropriate, to consolidate information about multiple programs within
any of the documents referenced in
paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
(4) The Qualification Standards Document must indicate specifically the
requirements of the parts 61, 63, 65, 121,
or 135 of this chapter, as applicable,
that would be replaced by an AQP curriculum. If a practical test requirement of parts 61, 63, 65, 121, or 135 of
this chapter is replaced by an AQP curriculum, the certificate holder must establish an initial justification and a
continuing process approved by the
FAA to show how the AQP curriculum
provides an equivalent level of safety
for each requirement that is to be replaced.
(c) Application and transition. Each
certificate holder that applies for one
or more advanced qualification curriculums must include as part of its application a proposed transition plan
(containing a calendar of events) for
moving from its present approved
training to the advanced qualification
program training.
(d) Advanced Qualification Program revisions or rescissions of approval. If after
a certificate holder begins training and
qualification under an AQP, the FAA
finds the certificate holder is not meeting the provisions of its approved AQP,
the FAA may require the certificate
holder, pursuant to Section 121.405(e), to make
revisions. Or if otherwise warranted,
the FAA may withdraw AQP approval
and require the certificate holder to
submit and obtain approval for a plan
(containing a schedule of events) that
the certificate holder must comply
with and use to transition to an approved training program under subpart
N of this part or under subpart H of
part 135 of this chapter, as appropriate.
The certificate holder may also voluntarily submit and obtain approval for a
plan (containing a schedule of events)
to transition to an approved training
program under subpart N of this part
or under subpart H of part 135 of this
chapter, as appropriate.
(e) Approval by the FAA. Final approval of an AQP by the FAA indicates
the FAA has accepted the justification
provided under paragraph (b)(4) of this

section and the applicant-s initial justification and continuing process establish an equivalent level of safety for
each requirement of parts 61, 63, 65, 121,
and 135 of this chapter that is being replaced.
