The Past No standardisation

• Few flight hours credits

• Analog simulation• Low riability

• Poor visual cues

• Lack of suitable database





Now and the Future

• JAA(EASA) standards

• Digital simulation

- Enhanced Visual

• OBJECTIVESDeliver an efficient co-pilot on an XXX transport aeroplane. The

multi-pilot concept and procedures begin after the student pilot has acquired strong flying skills in basic training. No previous flying experience needed.

On completion of training ATPL (A) certificates, CPL, IRME and an MCC training certificate will be issued.

• TYPE RATINGAn applicant holding a course completion certificate for this

Integrated ATP course has acquired the professional level to undergo an MPA type rating in the most favourable conditions.
