Course description
The aim of the course is to introduce newly qualified and relatively inexperienced pilots to become proficient in multi-crew co-operation (MCC) in order to operate safely multi-pilot multi-engine aeroplanes under IFR.
The syllabus is in excess of the minimum requirements. The extra experience may give you a helping hand if you know you may have some simulator assessment coming up as part of an interview process.
Learning objectives
The objectives of MCC training are optimum decision making, communication, division of tasks, use of checklists, mutual supervision, teamwork, and support throughout all phases of flight under normal, abnormal and emergency conditions. The training emphasises the development of non-technical skills applicable to working in a multi-crew environment.
MCC course also includes the opportunity to practice the skills that are necessary to be effective team leaders and members. This is achieved by training excercises (LOFTS – Line Oriented Flight Training) in which the applicants are crewmembers in the pilot flying (PF) and the pilot not flying (PNF) roles.
Main areas covered in the course are :
• Leadership/"followership" and authority
• Personality, attitude and motivation
• Effective and clear communication during flight
• Crew co-ordination procedures
