Independent Test Lab Subcommittee

Bill McDonald (FlightSafety-Boeing) reported that Integrity Training's WBT Manager was certified as compliant with the AICC's CMI web-based guidelines.  The voting membership formally approved this certification in an on-line vote prior to the meeting.   He also reported that modifications to AGR-006 and AGR-010 were formally approved by the voting membership in an on-line vote prior to the meeting.  He led a discussion on the need to enhance the current CMI Test Suite software, especially given the need to have a test for an API solution.

Platform Subcommittee

Paul Russell (United) presented a series of recommendations to be contained in a new AGR relating to non-training computing functions.  The desire is to prepare an AGR that would be helpful to airlines training organizations in getting proper support software for their administrative needs and to be able to communicate effectively with organizations outside their company.  The recommendations were discussed and revised.   The new AGR will be submitted for an on-line vote prior to the next meeting.

Courseware Technology Subcommittee

Jerry Sparks (FAA) led a discussion on ways to test for compliance with AGR-009, Use of Icons in CBT.   Options for self-assessment to lab certification were discussed.  No course of action was determined at this time.   This discussion will be continued at the next meeting.
