Airline Pilot Standard (APS)/MCC Course For Individuals

Course overview

This demanding course is designed to prepare the professional pilot licence holder for the challenges of type rating and the requirements for safe operation in a multi-crew commercial operating environment.

The course will enhance your handling skills and develop new competencies where flying with a professional crew during normal and non-normal operations will become second nature. The course incorporates airline based Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), with realistic scenarios designed to maximise the learning benefits of this exciting course.

You will develop a range of non-technical skills including teamwork, workload management decision making and the vital skill of monitoring the operation - none of which would work if you do not communicate with accuracy.

As you progress through the course our experienced instructors, a number of whom fly with CAT operators, will guide your personal development in the core skills which form the foundation for a successful career in aviation, you will become self-aware; where you will be encouraged to self-critique your performance to recognise when your capacity, leadership skills and technical knowledge combine to keep the operation safe.

Working with a partner pilot, this may be the first time you are a key part of a crew in challenging, dynamic environment, this course will support your development to be an effective member of any crew.
