they employ, with a regulatory alternative for training, checking, 
qualifying, and certifying aircrew personnel subject to the 
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 
will enable them and the FAA to determine whether the form and content 
of training and evaluation activities are satisfactorily accomplishing 
the overall objectives of the curriculum. There were no comments
