AQP is continuously validated through the collection and analysis of trainee performance. Data collection and analysis processes ensure that the certificate holder provides performance information on its crewmembers, flight instructors, and evaluators that will enable the certificate holder and the FAA to determine whether the form and content of training and evaluation activities are satisfactorily accomplishing the overall objectives of the curriculum. *Respondents:* Approximately 18 certificated air carriers and training centers. *Frequency:* Information is collected monthly. *Estimated Average Burden per Response:* 1.20 hours. *Estimated Total Annual Burden:* 432 hours.
