MCC TO APS MCC (FFS) UPGRADE COURSE

How is the bridge APS MCC course structured?

• The EASA published syllabus for the APS MCC consists of the 20 hours of standard MCC flight training, which is completed by 20 additional hours composed of 12 hours Advanced Swept Wing Jet airplane training, 6 hours Advanced airline operations scenario training and 2 hours Final Assessment.
• The Bridge APS MCC consists of the complementary training to the 20 hours standard MCC already completed, with the addition of specific A320 systems theory training.

Highlights of our MCC to APS-MCC Upgrade Course:

• Extensive A320 theory training before the simulator session
• Computer Based Training and live distant training to prepare all knowledge required in time while reducing your logistics costs
• Full Flight Simulator Level D, the highest simulator category, that faithfully replicates the Airbus A320
• Flight Instructors with extensive background in the airline industry
• Additional specific training in key areas needed for airline assessments: Aircraft Systems knowledge and FMS use, Airplane Flight Path Management, Normal and Abnormal SOPs, Situational Awareness, Leadership and Team work.

Theoretical & Flight Training

• 6 hours of in-person training with an instructor
• 8 hours Airbus A320 VPT training (4 h PF + 4 h PM).
• 20 hours Airbus A320 FFS training (10 h PF + 10 h PM):
  • 12 hours Advanced Swept Wing Jet airplane training.
  • 6 hours Advanced airline operations scenario training.
  • 2 hours Final Assessment.

Duration: 6 days presential classes and 6 days (recommended) for previous theoretical training.

What is the difference between a conventional MCC/JOC and the APS MCC?

• The Jet Orientation Course JOC is not based in any EASA regulation and each training organization can offer it in different lengths and structures.
• The APS MCC is a regulated EASA course sought by airlines and demanded prior to accessing any assessment or interview, with a clear structure including the complementary skills required by airlines, with detail described in the previous point.
• In order to fulfill the above point the APS MCC includes real airline standard operating procedures (SOPs) and doubles the amount of simulator hours up to 40 (instead of 20h in standard MCC).
• All training is performed in an advanced swept wing jet FSTD.
