Which CQ training events are required and their cadence?

• A. Two CQ-A & CQ-B; one every 12 months (MV & LOE) and the other every 24 months (ground)
• B. One CQ-A every 12 months
• C. CQ-A yearly
• D. Four events

Answer: (A)

CQ training is designed with two distinct events that cover both CQ‑A and CQ‑B, happening on different cadences. One event, conducted annually, focuses on MV and LOE aspects, ensuring ongoing proficiency in line-oriented or mission-related evaluations. The other event, held every two years, concentrates on ground procedures, keeping non-flight skills up to date. Completing both events satisfies currency for both flight‑based and ground-based competencies.

The other options don’t fit because they miss either the inclusion of CQ‑B, or the dual cadence, or both. A single annual CQ‑A, or a yearly CQ‑A alone, ignores CQ‑B and the ground‑procedures track, while four separate events exceed the required two‑part cadence.
