FAQ
Got questions?
How does the APS-MCC training work?
The training follows an airline-style progression: structured preparation, paired simulator sessions on our next-gen FNPTII A320, and systematic debriefs. Everything is standardised to bring you up to current operational standards.
What simulator is used?
All sessions take place on our FNPTII A320 NGC — a latest-generation, high-fidelity simulator that replicates a real cockpit environment as closely as possible.
Do we work in pairs?
Yes. Working in pairs is the foundation of Multi-Crew. You alternate PF/PM roles to develop coordination, communication and task management — just like at an airline.
Will I have the same instructor for every session?
No. You’ll be supervised by several TRI/TRE instructors and active line pilots. This exposes each trainee to different styles, standards and experiences — a key asset for what comes next.
Is the training intensive?
Yes. APS-MCC requires commitment and personal preparation. We provide the training materials and briefings you need to approach each session effectively.
What is the end goal of APS-MCC?
To bring you to the operational level expected at airline selections and at the start of a Type Rating: risk management, CRM, prioritisation, situational analysis and decision-making.
Is there a final exam?
Yes. A final assessment is carried out at the end of the programme. If unsuccessful, you still receive the MCC/JOC certificate. Additional sessions and a retake can also be arranged.
What are the prospects after APS-MCC?
APS-MCC is now the preferred standard for many European airlines. It’s the final preparation step before applying as a First Officer on CS25 aircraft.
Is the training available in English?
Yes. The training can be delivered in French or English, depending on your preference.
Do I need a specific level to start APS-MCC?
A valid CPL/IR/ME and a solid grasp of aviation English are all you need. We provide the rest through a structured, airline-focused approach.
Is there free time during the training?
The workload is demanding, but you’ll still have time to organise yourself outside of sessions. The key is to stay focused and prepared!
