Positive feedback from all involved

MPL concept allows a better preparation for the later

work in an airline cockpit

Reduction of total training time possible

Prerequisite is the close connection to an airline flight

operation

Continuous training from the early beginner to the

licensed co-pilot for modern airline jet-aircraft

Summary:

Thank you for your attention
