GENERAL
Multi Crew Co-Operation course is essential to fly as an airline crew member in Multi Pilot Aircraft (MPA). MCC course is required (or is significant advantage) to be completed by most airlines before an interview.
The MCC course is approved by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) under the requirements of JAR-FCL and is conducted over a period of 12 working days, comprising 25 hours of ground studies and 40 hours of simulator training. It is a non-jeopardy course, without the pressure of examinations or a flight test, and leads to award of the MCC Certificate, subject to satisfactory attendance.

The curriculum combines classroom and simulator activity to introduce and promote the non-technical skills that contribute significantly to aviation safety.
Instruction is provided, both in the classroom and the simulator, by our team of professional, airline
experienced training instructors, each with a wealth of flying experience and an urge to pass on to the next generation of pilots, the knowledge and enthusiasm accrued over many years in the aviation profession.
Those candidates who will complete the course with a proficiency above the average, upon request, will be assisted by Aeroclub Varese Management in gaining employment in the industry.

Duration
12 days total : 2 days classroom plus 10 days simulator sessions

Classroom Training
During the classroom phase, trainees explore the theory of working within a group situation and the team skills that are employed on the flight deck to enhance crew performance. They examine the
relationships between man, machine and the environment and how, by adopting a professional approach, individuals can interact more effectively with, and consequently influence the interface between these elements.
While still in the classroom, trainees will be instructed in flight deck management and operational issues that will arise during the simulator phase of the course, in particular the application of Standard Operating Procedures, (SOPs) during normal, non-normal and emergency flight conditions. These procedures have been adapted from actual airline procedures to provide an environment that is representative of a typical airline operation.

Simulator Training
Simulator training is conducted in 4 hour details over a 10 day period.
Trainees are rostered in pairs, flying as crewmembers in realistic, real time operational scenarios that put into practice the theory learned in the classroom. Each detail comprises 2 flight exercises and by exchanging roles between exercises, trainees gain experience in both the pilot flying and pilot non-flying roles.

The Simulator
The simulator, which is approved, is an advanced Ascent FNPTll-MCC Synthetic Flight Trainer manufactured by Mechtronix Systems Inc. a leading provider in of flight training devices worldwide.
Equipped with Garmin 530 GPS, features a 180-degrees field of view panoramic cylindral Visual System with Rediffun Simulation Inc. RASTER flite Image generator, a real time visual software offering superior resolution and providing locally generated weather, moving models and speciall effects .
It is modelled on the Beechcraft 200 Kingair, an 18 seater turboprop, commuter aircraft, capable of operating to a maximum altitude of 33,000 feet and True Airspeed of 260 kts.
