What is the purpose of a Re-Qualification Evaluation?

The purpose of a Re-Qualification Evaluation is fundamentally about remedying the loss of qualifications. Over time, aircrew members may experience periods where their skills or certifications lapse due to various reasons, such as not meeting operational requirements or being out of the cockpit for an extended duration. The Re-Qualification Evaluation serves as a systematic process to assess whether personnel have maintained the necessary skill levels and knowledge to safely and effectively perform their duties.

This evaluation is critical in ensuring that aircrew members can resume their roles with confidence and competence, thereby maintaining the overall safety and efficiency of operations. It specifically focuses on restoring qualifications rather than establishing new ones or exploring compliance with safety standards, which would be covered by other evaluations or training sessions.
