they employ, with a regulatory alternative for training, checking,

requirements of 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. Data collection and analysis 
processes ensure that the certificate holder provides performance 
information on its crewmembers, flight instructors, and evaluators that

the overall objectives of the curriculum. There were no comments
