Abstract
The Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) represents a dramatic shift in philosophy as to how best to train flight crews to handle the set of demands placed on them when operating a complex aircraft in a complex operational environment. The AQP process encourages a thoughtful and comprehensive evaluation of what constitutes the flying job and how training can be designed to provide effective and efficient coverage of important training issues. Through the process of designing a Model AQP Database to support AQP curriculum development, the concept of an event as a tool for supporting a situational approach to crew training was developed.
