Working in a team

Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) training

The MCC (Multi-Crew Cooperation) training is a compulsory programme for pilots preparing to work as part of a multi-pilot crew, generally on airliners or commercial transport aircraft. It is designed to improve cooperation, communication and coordination between crew members. Here is an overview of this training, with a focus on the variants APS MCC and YCW.

Training objectives

The main objective of MCC training is to prepare pilots to work as a team in a cockpit, focusing on :

  • Crew resource management (CRM) Communication, decision-making, workload management, leadership and situational awareness.
  • Task sharing The roles of Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not Flying (PNF) are clearly defined and practised.
  • Normal and emergency procedures Coordination in the management of normal and emergency situations, particularly in the complex environments of commercial aviation.

Training is generally done on a simulator and is compulsory for pilots before they can fly multi-pilot aircraft, such as regional or commercial jets.

Target audience

Pilots holding a CPL and ATPL Theoretical Licence.

Course duration

  • 20 hours of theory.
  • 20 hours on the simulator.
advanced divider

Detailed programme:

  • Communication and coordination in a multi-crew cockpit.
  • Crew resource management (CRM).
  • Multi-crew flight scenarios.

Prerequisites

To be admitted to a course leading to the award of a modular MCC certificate, candidates must hold a valid IR ME (Instrument Rating Multi Engine) qualification.

 

The document certifying successful completion of the valid IRME examination is sufficient to start the course. However, the MCC certificate will only be issued on receipt of a copy of the CPL licence including the IRME.

Assessment procedures

  • Continuous assessment on simulator.

Rates and financing

APS MCC (Airline Pilot Standard MCC)

L’APS MCC is an advanced version of MCC training, introduced to better prepare pilots for an airline environment. Here's what sets the MCC APS apart:

  • More in-depth training : The programme includes more advanced content, particularly on aircraft systems and procedures specific to airliners, as well as the management of complex situations.
  • Focus on commercial aircraft The APS MCC focuses on preparation for flying airliners (such as the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320) and simulates real-life airline scenarios.
  • Longer duration It often involves more simulator hours than the standard MCC and includes elements that more closely mimic airline operations.
  • Better employability Pilots who have undergone APS MCC training are often better prepared to apply for jobs with airlines, which can give them an advantage on the job market.

JOC (Jet Orientation Course)

The JOC (Jet Orientation Course) is a complement to MCC training, focusing specifically on helping pilots adapt to the transition to jet aircraft. This course covers :

  • Familiarisation with jet aircraft The JOC focuses on the differences between flying light aircraft or turboprops and commercial jets, such as managing speed, approaches and specific manoeuvres.
  • Using complex systems Pilots learn to manage the more advanced systems of a jet aircraft, such as the autopilot, navigation systems and IFR procedures.
  • No compulsory certification : Unlike the MCC, the JOC is not compulsory training, but it is highly recommended, especially for those aiming for a career on jets.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most frequently asked questions.

What are the differences between MCC, APS MCC and YCW?

  • MCC Basic training for working in a multi-pilot crew.
  • APS MCC A more advanced and comprehensive version of the MCC, designed to better meet airline requirements.
  • YCW An optional course that specifically prepares pilots to fly commercial jets, focusing on the technical and operational differences between jet aircraft.
