What is Multi-Crew Cooperation course?

Multi-Crew Cooperation – MCC is additional training for your Commercial Pilot License and is required to fly within a crew (multi-pilot aircraft with aircrew consisting of at least 2 members)

It is essential to complete the Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC) course to fly as an airline crew member in a Multi Pilot Aircraft (MPA). MCC course is required (or is a significant advantage) before a job interview.

The aim of the course is to make the pilot proficient in multi-crew cooperation (MCC) so they can safely operate multi-pilot multi-engine airplanes under IFR.

However, it can be combined with a Type Rating, allowing you to have a reduced MCC course, saving you both valuable time and money.

What are the MCC entry requirements?:

• You need to be a holder of Multi Engine Piston – MEP(A) class rating with a valid Instrument Rating – ME/IR

• You need to be a holder of a valid EASA Private Commercial Pilot License – CPL(A).

What will I learn during the MCC ?

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 emphasizes the development of non-technical skills applicable to working in a multi-crew environment.
