Part 121 · Qualifications & recurrent
AQP (14 CFR 121 App. Y)
Run an Advanced Qualification Program with per-fleet proficiency objectives and continuing-qualification enrollments tracked alongside the rest of crew records, so CQ status isn't in a separate tool. It replaces the standalone AQP tracker most carriers keep apart from scheduling.
Launching the first quarter of 2027.
Illustrative — every screen reflects your own data.
Who it's for
Training departments running an Advanced Qualification Program who want CQ status to sit next to scheduling and the rest of crew records rather than in a tool of its own.
What it replaces
The standalone AQP tracker most carriers keep apart from scheduling.
What aqp (14 cfr 121 app. y) gives you

- Tracked alongside the rest of crew records
Per-fleet objectives and CQ enrollments
A carrier running an Advanced Qualification Program under 14 CFR 121 Appendix Y tracks per-fleet proficiency objectives and continuing-qualification enrollments alongside the rest of crew records. It's the CQ cycle living where the rest of the operation already does.
- Per-fleet proficiency objectives
- Continuing-qualification enrollments
- Tracked alongside the rest of crew records
Next to scheduling, not in a separate tool
Because the objectives and enrollments sit next to scheduling and the other crew records, the desk and the training department reason about the same data rather than reconciling a standalone AQP tracker against the schedule. CQ status isn't stranded in a separate tool.
- CQ status isn't stranded in a separate tool
- The desk and training read the same data
- No standalone tracker to reconcile against the schedule

How it works
AQP (14 CFR 121 App. Y), step by step
Define per-fleet proficiency objectives for the program.
Enroll pilots in continuing-qualification cycles.
Track CQ status alongside the rest of the crew records.
Follow the cycle in the same workspace as scheduling — not a standalone tracker.

Deep diveMaintenance-station routing
Flags when a tail's due check won't reach a capable station before its limit. Advisory — it surfaces the risk, it doesn't block dispatch.
Deep diveCrew-base efficiency
Surfaces deadhead and out-of-base overnights so pairings can be built to originate and terminate at a crew member's base.
Deep diveWeighted efficiency score
A configurable weighted score (abstract points, lower = better) over deadhead, overnights, repositioning, and maintenance-fit slack — set your own weights.
Deep diveExplainable swap / re-base suggestions
Deterministic aircraft-swap and re-base proposals that improve the score — every suggestion shows its reasoning. Not AI, not a guaranteed optimum.
