How often should pilots participate in training and evaluations?

Pilots should participate in training and evaluations at specified intervals as outlined in the Flight Operations Manual to ensure they remain updated on the latest operational procedures, safety protocols, and regulatory requirements. This structured approach is essential for maintaining safety and efficiency in flight operations, as it allows pilots to refresh their knowledge, practice essential skills, and adapt to any changes in procedures. Regular training and evaluations help reinforce best practices and ensure that all flight crew members are competent and compliant with current standards. By adhering to the intervals specified in the manual, pilots can ensure they meet the expected proficiency levels necessary to operate safely and effectively within their roles. This systematic approach reduces the risk of lapses in skills or knowledge that could arise from infrequent training.
