The easiest and smoothest transiton into your future as a commercial pilot

The Airline Pilot Standards Multi-Crew Cooperation Course  

APS MCC is a course that teaches pilots how to interact and divide flight tasks between the elements of a crew, following the methodologies used in airlines and fly aircraft using simulators representing the entire aircraft. It is an EASA-recognized course intended for a recent ATPL or CPL/MEIR holder and prepares them to do any type rating course. 

What is APS MCC?

O que esperar desta importante qualificação?

For current integrated or modular ATPL pilot students, the APS MCC is considered a very advanced MCC module to be taken during the final stage of the course, with all the usual task sharing and checklist procedures done in an A320 environment. The standard MCC module is not enough to prepare the pilot to face a technical job interview in an airline because there is no experience and simulator hours in a modern aircraft. 

Graduated ATPL pilots can benefit from this course by experiencing an initiation into a Type Rating, studying all the SOPs (Standard Operation Procedures) of the A320, for instance.
