What does Basic Aircraft Qualified (BAQ) mean for a crew member?

Basic Aircraft Qualified (BAQ) signifies that a crew member has successfully completed Initial Qualification Training (IQT). This training is a foundational program designed to equip crew members with the essential skills and knowledge required to operate and perform their duties within a specific aircraft type. Completion of the IQT indicates that the crew member has undergone the necessary instruction and evaluation to be competent in basic operations, systems understanding, and emergency procedures related to the aircraft.

While other options address aspects of crew responsibilities or other types of training, they do not pertain to the specific qualification denoted by BAQ. BAQ primarily focuses on the readiness and competence gained from the Initial Qualification Training, which is essential for fulfilling operational roles effectively.
