CAE Iceland full flight simulators
Multi-Crew Cooperation Course

Icelandic Aviation Training offers both the basic MCC and the APS MCC training in state of the art Level-D Full Flight Simulators with highly experienced airline training captains.

What to Expect:

  • Training in Level-D Full Flight Simulators provides a realistic experience in operating a multi-pilot, multi-engine aircraft.

  • The MCC course covers essential crew resource management topics, including communication strategies, teamwork dynamics, mutual supervision, task diversion, checklist utilization, and optimal decision-making. Develop non-technical skills crucial for working effectively in a multi-crew environment.

  • Gain practical experience in handling normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions throughout all flight phases. The course emphasizes hands-on, scenario-based training.​

Upon Completion

Upon successful completion of the MCC course, you gain eligibility to apply to airlines and operate a multi-crew aircraft.

Airline Pilot Standard Course

The Airline Pilot Standard MCC (APS MCC) is the next stepping stone for students with a Multi-Crew Cooperation certificate. The course will develop all the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to help pilots to fit easily into an airline career and enhance the chances of passing an airline assessment. It is designed to bring new pilots all the knowledge and skills necessary to pass an airline assessment and to be able to adapt easily to a modern airline working environment in a modern swept-wing jet. The course emphasizes manual handling and CRM skills all of which are trained and assessed using the standards of ICAO Pilot Core Competencies. For many airlines, the completion of a APS MCC is now a mandatory prerequisite to the pilot selection process.

What to expect:

  • The course is designed by some of Europe's leading airlines to provide enhanced MCC that trains pilots in multi-crew competencies to airline standards. 

  • Train and further develop manual flying skills and crew resource management. 

  • It is designed to bring new pilots all the knowledge and skills necessary to pass an airline assessment and to be able to adapt easily to a modern airline working environment in a modern swept-wing jet.
