AskPubs Training · Live now — all four fleets

Your fleet's training. Finally in one place.

American Airlines already built a huge training library — official lessons, videos, briefing guides, a monthly Crewcast — spread across more sites than anyone keeps bookmarked. AskPubs Training brings all of it together, beside drills for your flows, maneuvers, and callouts — organized exactly the way AA trains you. Pick your fleet and seat. Everything below is yours.

Laid out the way American actually trains.

Modern 121 training is train-to-proficiency — facilitated briefings, First Look maneuvers, Line Operational Evaluation. Training mirrors the three tracks on AA's own training pages:

Qualification (QT)

New to the airplane — initial, transition, or upgrade. The full footprint: ETHOS distance learning, nine days of ground school with AA's own lesson decks for every day, ten sim days through Maneuvers Validation, LOFT, and the LOE, then Operating Experience. Walk in already ahead.

Requalification (RQ)

Returning to the airplane after time away. The RQ lesson track plus every flow and maneuver drill, so it comes back fast.

Continuing Qualification (CQT)

Your recurrent cycle, even-year or odd. The four-day footprint as a timeline — ground school with this cycle's systems, Maneuvers Training, Maneuvers Observation, LOE and Advanced Training — each event showing its published airports, plates, and maneuvers, straight from the Pilot Training Guide.

The library

Everything AA already made for you — surfaced.

Official lessons

AA Flight Training's own presentations — every QT ground-school day, CQ ground modules, sim briefings — opened right from the day you're studying. Watched one? It's marked, and your day shows 3/8 viewed.

Videos & Crewcast

The informational video library and the monthly Crewcast, matched to what you're training for. The Crewcast on Loss of Thrust at V1 sits next to the V1-cut choreography you're drilling.

Guides & references

Autothrust, EFIS, FMGS, EET Direct Reference, Load Closeout, OE Prep — the guides, in the app, viewable in place.

General & tools

Special-qualification airport familiarization, training center shuttle schedules, ECS how-to — plus one-tap links to MINT, fleet quizzes, schedule and days-off requests (your AA login takes over where AA requires it).

The drills

Then make it stick.

Flows & Triggers

Every flow for your seat, with its trigger — rebuilt in order, from memory, straight from the AOM Flow Guide. Know when it fires, not just what's in it.

Maneuvers & Procedures

The Actions & Callouts choreography — windshear escape, V1 cut, stall recovery, go-around, CAT III — as both seats fly it. Read it, then chair-fly it: your seat's actions hidden until you say them out loud and tap to check.

Progress that follows you

Lessons show viewed, days show 3/8, phases show percent. Drills track practice runs and checks per item, on your account — phone, iPad, or desktop.

Flows & Triggers

Build the flow. In order.

Scrambled steps, dragged into sequence and checked against the book. Here it's on autopilot — in the app, you do the ordering.

Chair-fly

Chair-fly it like the night before the sim.

Pick your seat. The cue and the other pilot's actions show — yours stay hidden until you say them out loud and tap to check yourself. Straight from the AOM's Actions & Callouts, both seats, in order.

How it works

Practice freely. Check yourself honestly.

Like modern 121 training itself: train to proficiency — and see it.

01 · PRACTICE

Drill it as much as you want.

Order the flows, chair-fly the maneuvers, watch the lessons. Practice never counts against you.

02 · CHECK

Run it for real.

A check is all-or-nothing — one step out of sequence and the run fails, because that's what the flow demands. Pass and it's marked mastered.

03 · MASTER

Miss something? Fix exactly that.

A failed check queues the specific items you missed — you review those, not the whole section. Your debrief list, not a do-over.

Everything cited

Every flow step, every callout, every maneuver beat carries its manual and page — checked against your fleet's current documents.

Always know where you stand

Viewed, practiced, mastered — rolled up from each lesson to each day to each phase, so “am I ready for Thursday” is answerable at a glance.

More on the way

A320 first — the other fleets follow the same blueprint. Quick knowledge checks and QRH scenario walk-throughs are next on the bench.
