Cockpit/Crew Recourses Management
Aim
Complete online training for air operators to comply with the federal standard described in AC Advisory Circular 700-042. Transport Canada specifies that external training:
- Must include elements specific and relevant to the flight operations of the participants
- Are subject to the same quality assurance (QA) practices that operators apply to their own operations
- Be approved by TCCA
Description
The CQFA theoretical GRE training includes the following modules:
- Initial year
- Module 1: Aviation Human Factors (2h30 online)
- Module 2: Stupor and surprise (0h40 online)
- Module 3: Managing Threats and Errors (2h00 online)
- Module 4: Case study (1h00 online)
- Recurrent year 1: 2 hour online module
- Recurrent year 2: 2 hour online module
- Annual: Fatigue (one-hour module, online)
Operators can meet the requirements of AC 700-042 by first deploying the CQFA online courses among their personnel. Second, they lead internal meetings on events that have occurred in their operations. The CQFA can support internal facilitators in their approach.

Online training courses are asynchronous, they are followed at the pace of each learner, without a timetable, provided there is internet access (3G or wifi). They are updated every year and each learner's access lasts 180 days. The chief pilot or his delegate receives "cc" emails informing him of the progress of his personnel.
The CQFA provides a plan on MSWord that the operator can modify at will to submit to Transport Canada.
