O APS MCC prepara os pilotos para fazer um curso de qualificação de tipo em aeronaves modernas, como um Airbus A320 ou um Boeing 737.

A IFA e a SIMNEST assinaram um acordo pelo qual a SIMNEST venderá à IFA um novo simulador A320 FNPT II. Este novo simulador aprimorará significativamente o currículo de treinamento de MCC e de Habilitação de Tipo da IFA. Com este acordo, a IFA e a SIMNEST ampliarão o acesso a treinamento de voo inovador e de alta qualidade para estudantes de aviação comercial. "Esta aquisição expande significativamente nossa capacidade de treinamento de voo APS-MCC para melhor atender às necessidades de nossos alunos", disse José Madeira, presidente e CEO da IFA International Flight Academy.

“The change in the training environment is real and the industry is demanding a better approach to the flight deck procedures used in the real airline world. Those include airline SOP’s, a better selection of cadets and shorter line training. We are sure that through real cockpit and system procedures like the ones included in our APS-MCC program, we will give our students the leverage they need to be successful when entering the job market.”

APS MCC is a course that teaches pilots to interact and divide flight tasks among the elements of a crew, but following the methodologies used in airlines. It is an EASA recognized course and is aimed at a recent ATPL or CPL graduate preparing them to take a type rating course on a modern aircraft such as an Airbus A320. The APS MCC course emerged because some airlines realized the difficulties that young pilots had when placed in a simulator, whether in selection processes by companies or already in the type rating course. In recruitment processes, the APS-MCC gives a significant advantage to pilots who have completed this course when compared to others who have not.

For this new training, after exploring the market offerings, Simnest Aviation’s Airbus A320 FNPT II APS MCC was found to be the most suitable choice. Besides its incredible ease of use and the immediate availability of support services, the fact that Simnest provides an FNPT II APS MCC simulator with a high-fidelity Airbus 320 environment equipped with OEM parts was a decisive argument for the management of IFA. Though the Simnest A320-based FNPT II APS MCC simulator is a very complex device, it does not mean that it could not be simple to use. The new high fidelity Simnest Airbus A320 FNTP II APS MCC device of IFA is going to be installed this July. The result: more cadets, who will be grateful to IFA IFA for making it easier to reach their dreams of being an airline pilot.
