All UPS training is now AQP as of Dec 2016 when the 747 Initial Qual program was approved.

Continuing Qual for the 75/76 and A300 fleets is every 12 months. The MD11 and 747 have CQ12 (3 days) which includes the Maneuvers Validation and LOE followed by CQ6 six months later. CQ6 is training only, no validation or evaluation and is currently one day for the 747 fleet.

747-8 differences will initially be 3 days, and will likely force us to add another day to CQ6 to cover 747-8 differences (ECL, IAN etc) for continuing qual.

Initial Qual footprints are: MD11 31 days; A300 29 days; 75/76 29 days; 747 31 days. These are total training days, they don't include the 2 days off every five days, effectively making the total simulator training footprint six weeks long. Of course if you start 747 initial after March 1st, then the 747-8 3 day differences course will be added to the footprint.

Operational Experience is 25 hours for all fleets generally. 747 fleet may have to consider doing bounces again to get enough landings if training volume gets to great.

Right now the drop for the Jan 03 class is 4 747, 8 A300, 4 SDF MD11 and 4 ANC MD11. Subject to change of course.
