Regulatory Reference

Procedure / How to Complete It
- Maintain procedures and evidence continuously ready.
- Keep HVPQ and PIQ accurate.
- Prepare personnel for their duties, equipment and procedures.
- Use feedback to close gaps, not memorise the whole library.
Practical Example
The Chief Engineer addresses relevant human-based questions in the CVIQ, not every question in the library.
