Multi-Crew Co-operation (MCC) & Airline Pilot Standards Multi-Crew Co-operation (APSMCC)

MCC / JOC & APS MCC

Throughout the course, you will be paired with another student, working together to develop communication, coordination, and decision-making skills within a multi-crew environment. Training includes both simulator sessions and ground school, ensuring a balanced and practical learning experience.

The APS MCC is a more advanced, airline-focused programme. It includes extended training time, a broader theoretical syllabus, and concludes with a formal assessment of competence.

Although the course is conducted entirely in a simulator, students are expected to maintain the same standards of professionalism, preparation, and discipline as required in live flight training.

Course Pathways

Training Environment

All MCC and JOC training takes place in our dedicated simulator facility using the ALSIM ALX FNPT2 medium jet simulator, providing a realistic airline-style environment for multi-crew training.

This advanced simulator enables you to:

• Multi-crew operations
• Jet handling techniques
• High-altitude flight characteristics
• Abnormal and emergency scenarios
• Line-oriented flight exercises

The simulator includes key features found in modern jet aircraft, including flight management systems, weather radar, and TCAS, providing an ideal platform to prepare for airline operations.

What You’ll Gain

• Practical experience in a multi-crew flight deck
• Strong understanding of airline procedures and SOPs
• Enhanced CRM and decision-making skills
• Exposure to realistic airline scenarios and simulator assessments
• Increased confidence transitioning to airline training

Designed for Airline Preparation

You will also gain insight into airline expectations, helping you approach future opportunities with confidence and professionalism.

Pre-Entry Requirements

Make the Most of the Course

Although conducted in a simulator, the standards expected mirror those of a real flight deck and the habits you develop here will carry directly into your future airline career.

Advanced Simulator Training Facilities

The ALSIM ALX FNPT II MCC simulator offers a versatile ‘generic’ jet platform incorporating features from both Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft. Equipped with twin FMCs, CDUs, weather radar, and TCAS, it provides a highly relevant introduction to a modern airline flight deck environment.

Training is designed to reflect real-world airline operations. Students learn to operate using standard airline Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), developing key competencies in communication, decision-making, and effective crew coordination. The programme also places strong emphasis on managing non-normal and emergency scenarios, preparing students for the demands of multi-crew flying.

For those progressing directly toward jet operations, the simulator provides an ideal platform to build experience aligned with airline expectations. With simulator assessments now a key part of most airline selection processes, students gain valuable jet-oriented experience, alongside guidance on airline interviews and insight into what airlines look for in prospective pilots.

In addition to jet training, the simulator supports both EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument Systems) and conventional instrument modes for SEP and MEP training. This allows for continuity throughout your training, with the ability to replicate aircraft from our fleet, including the Warrior, Arrow, and Seneca.
While not a type rating, the use of an advanced medium jet simulator ensures you gain meaningful, transferable experience ahead of airline recruitment. We encourage prospective students to visit and experience the quality of training first-hand.
