What is Requalification?

• A. A aircrew member who needs to qualify for basic duties in assigned position for a specific aircraft WITHOUT regards to the unit's mission
• B. Training to maintain aircraft currency
• C. Conversion training between MDS
• D. A aircrew member is unqualified and needs to undergo training again.

Answer: (D)

Requalification is the process of restoring an aircrew member to qualified status after their qualification has been lost or is no longer current. It applies when a member is unqualified or has fallen out of practice and must go through retraining and pass the required checks again to demonstrate they can safely perform the duties for that aircraft or role. This is distinct from currency training, which is ongoing practice to stay current, and from conversion training between different aircraft or MDS. In short, requalification specifically means retraining to regain qualification after being unqualified.
