The APS MCC Course (Airline Pilot Standard Multi-Crew Cooperation), is an in-depth, enhanced MCC course designed to bridge the gap between ab-initio training and commercial air transport (CAT) type rating training. This course will provide students with the essential qualifications to ensure a successful transition into a career in civil aviation through strengthening their knowledge of the CRM core competencies: communications, leadership and teamwork, problem-solving, decision making, flightpath management, information management, situation awareness and applications of knowledge, workload management, regulations, and procedures.
The idea of the APS MCC was born when it became clear that too many newly qualified pilots (50%) holding a CPL, frozen ATPL theoretical exams, and ME/IR with standard MCC courses, were failing their initial assessments when applying for pilot positions at European airlines. By increasing the instructional hours in the simulator, the APS MCC prepares new graduates for operations on multi-crew aircraft compared to the standard MCC. The MCC course does provide a pilot with basic skills, however, the APS MCC graduate receives not only the necessary qualifications but also develops positive attributes in the core competencies, ultimately improving their success rates during airline assessments.
The APS MCC course will commence with five days of theoretical knowledge training beginning on November 7th. The students then spend one week in technical training for the B757/767 and subsequently begin the flight training, where integrated students will have a minimum of 35 hours of simulator training and 40 for modular students.
As stated by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the APS MCC course merges the standard MCC course with the previously unregulated Jet Orientation Course (JOC) and links the accolade of the commercial pilots license with familiarity in airline operations.
