What are the three Flying Currency Events recognized in aircrew training?

The three Flying Currency Events recognized in aircrew training are IQT (Initial Qualification Training), MQT (Mission Qualification Training), and CT (Continuation Training).

IQT is designed to provide aircrew members with the foundational skills necessary to operate specific aircraft types and conduct basic missions. This phase ensures that new aircrew have the basic qualifications needed for their roles.

MQT builds upon IQT by focusing on more complex mission-specific tasks and scenarios. It is intended to ensure that aircrew are fully qualified to carry out the missions they will be expected to conduct in their operational roles.

CT is critical for maintaining the proficiency and currency of aircrew. This ongoing training allows aircrew to refine their skills, stay up to date on changes in tactics or procedures, and ensure they remain capable of performing their roles effectively over time.

These events are essential for maintaining the operational readiness and effectiveness of aircrews, ensuring they meet required standards and stay current with their qualifications.
