On a Kalitta Air SIC initial line check following IOE, what document is ultimately completed, and what regulatory reference is that document satisfying on the initial SIC check?
Does the SIC initial line check document point back to 121.440, or something else? Would the official document still be an "Airman Competency/Proficiency Check," or maybe something else that exists in AQP?
Thanks for answering. It's just clarification for my logbook.
Continuing the thread...
OE, after successfully completing your gates to the type rating, is an open ended training program to get you comfortable with the (most likely) new environment and aircraft. You will not be released to your Line Check until your OE instructor is satisfied that you are ready.
Within AQP, the LOE (previously mentioned check ride) and Line Check are PRIA events. Everything else is internal.
AQP is much different than the old school documentation under 135 and 121. There is no singular event that validates your competency. It is an ongoing event chain that requires you to validate multiple tasks along the way.
