APS: Airline Pilot Standards (Enhanced MCC)

It is not a mandatory requirement, but it is very recommended in light of airline selections, refining your level of competence. The structure of the course has been developed in conjunction with our partner The Airline Pilot Club. 

If MCC will train you to airline piloting standards, the new APS MCC is an alternative to the conventional MCC course with several jet orientated items included. The course is believed to better prepare you for your first airline job. Not just in a generic SIM, but in a narrow body one.

In addition to the items mentioned above, the enhanced MCC APS consists of:

• Further developed CRM training as per Part Ops
• Advanced swept-wing jet aircraft training
• Airline-oriented training
• Aircraft flight path management automation
• Workload management

Structure of the course:

Training Elements	FSTD Time Per Crew
MCC Training:	20 hours
Advanced swept-wing Training:	12 hours
Advanced Airline-Simulated Operational Training:	6 hours
Final Progress Assessment:	2 hours

 

The enhanced MCC training course given by Aero Locarno is based on a multi-pilot jet type capable of carrying at least 50 passengers or the equivalent mass. Check out our latest MPS simulator.

After having successfully reached the required competences, you’ll be awarded an MCC course completion certificate which specifically states that the course has been delivered to enhanced APS MCC standards.
