MARs/TARs are defined as what?

• A. A billing record
• B. A mission plan
• C. Primary source document for (flying) continuation training
• D. A maintenance log

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that MARs/TARs are the official records that capture ongoing flying training, documenting exactly what training was completed, who evaluated it, when it happened, and what actions are required next. Because they are the original documentation kept in the aircrew training record, they serve as the primary source used to verify that continuation training has occurred and to determine if a flyer is current or needs further qualification for future missions. They aren’t billing records (financial documents), mission plans (flight operation plans), or maintenance logs (aircraft upkeep records), each of which serves a different purpose.
