* Usually the APS MCC is completed as a combined course but it is possible to only complete the APS part.
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.
