Cross crew qualification (CCQ) is the process of qualifying for a new aircraft type through training which covers only the differences between the new type and the aircraft type the pilot is currently qualified to fly. It applies to aircraft types which share Flight Operational Commonality and replaces the Full Type Rating course.

OBS

For example, an A320 pilot moving to the A330 or A340 only needs to do the appropriate differences training to be qualified on the A330 or A340. The same applies to a pilot moving from the A330/A340 to the A320 Family, or between the A330 and A340. CCQ reduces training time and cost by 65% to 95%, compared to a Full Type Rating course. Transitioning pilots spend less time away from line flying and, as a result, can increase their productivity in the airline. CCQ is now well established. It is approved by authorities worldwide, including the JAA in Europe and the FAA in the United States, and is used by twenty-six Airbus family operators around the world. The trend towards MFF is on the increase, with pilots from 11 airlines practising it.

OBS

cross crew qualification; CCQ: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

DEF

Qualification permettant à un membre d'équipage, à l’issue d’une formation complémentaire, de passer indifféremment d’un aéronef à un autre de la même famille. [Définition publiée au Journal officiel de la République française le 19 juin 2011.]

CONT

Rappelons que seule une formation par différence d'une durée minimale est requise pour les équipages pilotant déjà d'autres membres des familles A320 et A330. Les concepts de qualification par différence (CCQ/cross crew qualification) et d'affectation indifférenciée sur plusieurs types d'appareils (MFF/mixed fleet flying) offrent une souplesse très appréciable en cas de renouvellement rapide ou de forte augmentation de la flotte.

OBS

La formation pour ce type de qualification ne porte que sur les différences entre les deux aéronefs concernés.

OBS

qualification par différence; qualification transférable; CCQ : termes et abréviation uniformisés par l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI).

  • Grain Growing
  • Agricultural Economics
  • Pricing (Rail Transport)
CONT

It is costly to move grain. In an average year, grain handling and transportation services in Canada may cost more than $445 million. Because of the high cost, and the need to ensure that Canada's producers receive the maximum amount of money possible for their grain, governments have played a major role in determining the cost of moving Canadian grain. Rail tariffs are established by legislation : maximum primary, terminal and transfer elevator tariffs are set by a government agency, the Canadian Grain Commission.

CONT

Le transport et la manutention du grain sont coûteux. Pour une année moyenne, le montant des frais peut dépasser 445 millions de dollars. En raison de ceux-ci et de la nécessité d'assurer aux producteurs canadiens un revenu maximum, les gouvernements successifs ont dû jouer un rôle important dans l'établissement des tarifs de transport du grain. Les tarifs ferroviaires sont fixés par la loi; les tarifs maximums aux silos de collecte et aux silos portuaires et de transbordement sont établis par un organisme public, la Commission canadienne des grains.

  • Anti-pollution Measures

CONT

The cost of climate change policies can be minimized through "no regrets" strategies. Such strategies make economic and environmental sense whether or not the world is moving towards rapid climate change. They can involve removing market imperfections(such as counter-productive fossil fuel subsidies), creating supplementary benefits(greater industrial competitiveness through energy efficiency), and generating "double dividends"(when revenus from taxes or other climate change instruments are used to finance reductions in existing distortionary taxes).

Key term(s)
  • no-regrets strategy

CONT

Le coût des politiques de parade aux changements climatiques peuvent être réduits au minimum grâce aux stratégies «sans regrets». Il s'agit de stratégies qui se justifient économiquement et écologiquement, que le monde se dirige ou non vers une modification rapide du climat. Il peut s'agir, entre autres, d'éliminer les imperfections du marché (en arrêtant de subventionner l'utilisation de combustibles fossiles), de créer des avantages supplémentaires (meilleure compétitivité de l'industrie s'appuyant sur un bon rendement énergétique) et de «multiplier les dividendes» (en utilisant le revenu des taxes ou des autres instruments de parade aux changements climatiques pour financer la réduction des taxes sources de distorsions).

Instructional computers are basically used in one of two ways - they either provide a straightforward presentation of data or they fill a tutorial role where the student is tested on his or her comprehension.

CONT

Teaching computers are basically all-electronic, with no moving parts-other than electrons-and are easy to mass produce. They cost little more than the raw materials of which they are made, and they have the great advantage of being extremely reliable.

CONT

One of the more difficult aspects of instructional computers is the availability and development of software, or computer programs.

Grading is the process of moving soil to change the form of the land. Cutting is the removal of soil and filling is the addition of soil. Shrinkage factor is the volume of soil lost after cut material is placed as fill. It is usually desirable to balance the cut and fill at a site. Exporting or importing soil is a costly operation compared to moving soil on site. The cost of moving soil at the site is about 1/6 that of importing soil and about 1/3 that of exporting soil, unless of course the export material may be sold. Another reason to avoid importing soil is to avoid complications which may result from mixing different soil types.
