(Supersedes Safety Recommendation A-94-024)

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The FAA must require airlines operating under 14 CFR Parts 121 and 135, as well as independent pilot training facilities, to keep standardized records of pilot performance in skill, ability, knowledge, and judgment assessments during training, check flights, initial operating experience, and line checks. These records must be used for quality assurance of both individual pilot performance and the training programs themselves.
