Which items are included in First Officer currency requirements?

• A. 3 Takeoffs and landings, CQ-A and CQ-B within 24 months, MV within 12 months, LOE every 12 months, QC line check
• B. 3 Takeoffs and landings, CQ-A and CQ-C within 24 months
• C. 5 Takeoffs and landings, CQ-A and CQ-B within 24 months
• D. 3 Takeoffs and landings, CQ-A and CQ-B within 12 months

Answer: (A)

Maintaining currency as a First Officer combines recent flight experience with ongoing training and evaluation activities to ensure you’re ready for both day-to-day flying and ongoing proficiency. The three takeoffs and landings demonstrate you’ve freshly used the basic hands-on flying skills. CQ-A and CQ-B within 24 months ensure you’ve refreshed the required competency checks within a two-year window. MV within 12 months keeps your procedural and operational knowledge current. An LOE (Line Oriented Evaluation) every 12 months checks your in-flight performance in realistic line operations, and a QC line check is also required on a yearly basis to confirm you’re meeting standard operating expectations during routine line flying. This combination with the correct timeframes is why the option including all these elements is the best match. The other options miss one or more items or swap the required intervals.
