Ariel V All-Sky Monitor observations of Aql X-1 are reported and compared with previous observations that indicate the existence of 'low' and 'high' intensity states. All the data considered are shown to be consistent with flaring episodes having a mean flare interval of 435 days with an rms scatter of about 10%. It is suggested that the observations are most easily interpreted in terms of an 'X-ray dwarf nova' binary of the type proposed for the transient X-ray source A0620-00. Constraints on more detailed features of the source model are discussed.
