AQP Vol 1 Exam Questions & Answers
100% CORRECT 2024/2025
Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) - ANSWERSVoluntary and alternative method of training,
evaluating and qualifying that uses a systematic methodology for developing proficiency based training
and evaluation programs (in lieu of traditional)
Anonymous Data - ANSWERSDe-Identified Data
Attitude - ANSWERSPersisting internal mental state that influences an individual's choice of personal
action toward some object, person, or event; the emotions or feeling that influence a learner's desire or
choice to perform a particular task; a positive alteration in personal and professional beliefs, values, and
attitudes that will enable the learner to use knowledge and skill to implement positive changes in the
operational environment. Attitudes have affective components, cognitive aspects, and behavioural
consequences.
Cognitive Skills (CS) - ANSWERSIntellectual skills that are prerequisites to the performance of a task, sub-
task, element or sub-element. 3 primary categories: Discrimination, Concept Learning and Rule Using
Condition - ANSWERSOne of three primary components of a proficiency objective (performance,
condition and standard). The conditions describe the range of circumstances under which student
performance will be measured and evaluated. Conditions may include the natural environment (ceiling,
visibility, wind, turbulence, etc.), the operational environment (navigational aid, U/S, birds, conflicting air
traffic, gate change, etc.) and operational contingencies (abnormal situations and emergencies).
Condition Category - ANSWERSA set of related conditions that involve the same system (ie power plant),
type of weather phenomenon (ie turbulence), or operational factor (ie U/S Navaid). Using a condition
category in a Terminal Proficiency Objective (TPO) or Supporting Proficiency Objective (SPO) avoids the
need to list each individual condition, yet still carries the requirement that the crew be capable of
performing the task or subtask under each condition.
Condition Qualification Category - ANSWERSA categorization scheme used by the Model AQP database
to aid in assigning TPOs to locations within the communing qualification curriculum. Each TPO can be
assigned to one or more categories with each category (ie Maneuvers Validation) have a pre-defined
, location within the curriculum. When laying out a given category's part of the curriculum, the user
chooses from only the set of TPOs assigned to that category, thus simplifying the curriculum design
process.
Conduct - ANSWERSTo take an active role in all phases of a validation or evaluation (including pre-flight
preparation, briefing, control and pace of the various sequences, assessment of the candidate's
performance, debriefing, collection of data and completion of required documents including certification
of the candidate's licenses).
Continuing Qualification Cycle (CQC) - ANSWERSThe time period during which training and evaluation on
all proficiency objectives have been accomplished by all flight crewmembers, instructors or evaluators as
applicable.
Continuing Qualification Program (CQP) - ANSWERSTraining that follows initial qualification on a regular
basis.
Crew Layer - ANSWERSThe set of knowledge and skills for a given event that must be performed by the
crew that involve interactions between the crew members themselves, or between the crew and other
individuals (ie FAs, ATC, ground handlers and dispatch).
Criticality - ANSWERSA determination of the relative impact of substandard task performance on overall
safety; the relative need for awareness, care, exactness, accuracy, or correctness during task
performance. Critical tasks must be accomplished more frequently in training and evaluation than non-
critical tasks.
Currency Item - ANSWERSA Terminal Proficiency Objective for which individuals and/or crews can
maintain proficiency by repeated performance of the item in normal line operations. For pilots, most
currency items may be validated during line checks, while most non-currency items must be validated
during training and checking events in a simulator or Flight Training Device (FTD).
Curriculum - ANSWERSA portion of an AQP that covers one of three program areas: (1) Indoctrination,
(2) Qualification, or (3) Continuing Qualification. A Qualification or Continuing Qualification curriculum
addresses the required training and qualification activities for a specific make, model, and series aircraft
(or variant) and for a specific duty position.
