The JOC program comprises the basics of flying on jet aircraft and will familiarize the student with jet aircraft operations, for now being available at IFA for the Airbus A320. It is conducted in Lisbon, Portugal on a FNPT-II A320 simulator, the highest ranked and most advanced simulator of its kind.

This training, with theory and practical sessions included, takes about a week to complete and comprises so many advantages for aspiring pilots:

Smoother transition from lighter aircraft to (bigger) airline aircraft;
Spatial knowledge and cockpit organization awareness;
Training in FFS–Full Flight Simulator with maneuver preparation;
Improved pilot training flow and greater smoothness of procedures for the screening;
Physical memory acquisition of the aircraft instruments;
Higher probability of passing the screening.

It is possible to combine the MCC and JOC courses and making a united short program as the MCC will emphasize on the teamwork and the JOC will focus on your handle of an A320 aircraft.
