member, aircraft dispatcher, other op-
erations personnel, instructor, or eval-
uator who has not maintained con-
tinuing qualification. 

§ 121.917

Other requirements. 

In addition to the requirements of 

§§ 121.913 and 121.915, each AQP quali-
fication and continuing qualification 
curriculum must include the following 
requirements: 

(a) Integrated Crew Resource Man-

agement (CRM) or Dispatcher Resource 
Management (DRM) ground and if ap-
propriate flight training applicable to 
each position for which training is pro-
vided under an AQP. 

(b) Approved training on and evalua-

tion of skills and proficiency of each 
person being trained under AQP to use 
his or her resource management skills 
and his or her technical (piloting or 
other) skills in an actual or simulated

members this training and evaluation 
must be conducted in an approved 
flight training device, flight simulator, 
or, if approved under this subpart, in 
an aircraft. 

(c) Data collection and analysis proc-

esses acceptable to the FAA that will 
ensure the certificate holder provides 
performance information on its crew-
members, dispatchers, instructors,

whether the form and content of train-
ing and evaluation activities are satis-
factorily accomplishing the overall ob-
jectives of the curriculum. 

§ 121.919

Certification. 

A person subject to an AQP is eligi-

gram if the following requirements are 
met: 

(a) Training and evaluation of re-

quired knowledge and skills under the 
AQP must meet minimum certification 
and rating criteria established by the 
FAA in parts 61, 63, or 65 of this chap-
ter. The FAA may approve alternatives 
to the certification and rating criteria 
of parts 61, 63, or 65 of this chapter, in-
cluding practical test requirements, if 
it can be demonstrated that the newly 
established criteria or requirements 
represent an equivalent or better meas-
ure of crewmember or dispatcher com-
petence, operational proficiency, and 
safety. 

(b) The applicant satisfactorily com-

pletes the appropriate qualification 
curriculum. 

(c) The applicant shows competence 

in required technical knowledge and 
skills (e.g., piloting or other) and crew 
resource management (e.g., CRM or 
DRM) knowledge and skills in sce-
narios (

i.e.

of knowledge and skills together. 

(d) The applicant is otherwise eligi-

ble under the applicable requirements 
of part 61, 63, or 65 of this chapter. 

(e) The applicant has been trained to

administered by an APD or the FAA.

signment of a flight training device or 
flight simulator qualification level: 

(1) Required evaluation of individual 

or crew proficiency. 

(2) Training to proficiency or train-

ing activities that determine if an indi-

(LOS). 

(b) Approval of other training equip-
