Hello everybody,

Since ACARS is used to perform aircraft checkrides, would it be possible (with prior aircraft chief pilot or other program director approval) allow an "evlaulation fight" to check if flights are well executed (like a recurrency check, following a checkride)? Just curious if this could be an option.

Pardon me if this is a stupid question. smile

Thank you.

No question is a stupid question. In fact you raise a valid point and make a good suggestion. We have no formal policy requiring a recurrency check. However, I feel certain that if you asked your Chief or Assistant that they would review a flight report for you.
