(HEF) fires that can occur in the occupied areas of the

aircraft.

• Initial recommendations expected August 2018

12


Looking Forward to Year 5

Flight Path Management Workgroup

• Recommendations on guidance for training information

automation systems or functions

Air Carrier & Contract Training Workgroup

• Support of Standardized Curriculum Concept

Implementation

Looking Forward to Year 5

Part 121 Data Analysis Action Team

• Explore the availability, aggregation, and

utilization of data to analyze the connection

between pilot training, experience,

qualification and performance in part 121

operations.

Effectiveness of Training Delivery Media

• New workgroup to examine recommendations

and guidance for development, continual

assessment, and improvement of Distant

Education (DE) Methods.
