Why Choose MPL?
4 key benefits of choosing MPL?
1. RELEVANCE
2. RISK REDUCTION
3. RECRUITMENT
4. RETENTION
6
Benefits for Training Managers
1. Able to pick the ‘best’ students
2. A chance to design a completely bespoke training course
3. Integral ‘Safety/Threat & Error Management Culture’
4. Build-in airline business culture and SOPs from day 1
5. Totally relevant to ultimate airline pilot role
6. Reduced training task & costsRELEVANCE & RISK REDUCTION
Need ATPL to move airline/become a Captain
No Single Pilot or GA privileges
Benefits for Resource Managers
1. Able to pick the ‘best’ students
2. Predictable volume supply to meet future fleet planning needs with 18 months forward visibility
3. A guaranteed supply of career FOs for a minimum of 3 years line flying
4. A motivated team of career FOs highly likely to become ‘fast track’ Captains & Trainers
5. Able to build-in ‘Commercial’ training
6. PR opportunity – Innovation and Commitment to pilot training & supply
RECRUITMENT & RETENTION
1. 1 SEP aircraft produces 90 Kg of CO2 per hour
2. 1 MEP aircraft produces 180 kg of CO2 per hour
3. Assume 100 hours of SPA flight time transferred onto MPL
4. Assume ratio SEP/MEP flying hours are 70/30
5. CO2 emissions - 11,700 Kg less per student
6. Average Motor Car produces 3,000 kg of CO2 per year
7. Equivalent to taking 4 cars off the road per student
8. 100 MPL students = 400 fewer cars in terms of CO2
emissions

Gaining an MPL Approval
A TRAINING ‘PARTNERSHIP’

3. Regulator

Our MPL ‘pioneers’ - mitigating their risk
1. Cost of Training failure
2. Cost of MPL failure
3. Cost of reverting to a traditional ATPL

There is no such thing as a
GENERIC MPL Approval!
Each course is tailor-made
and approved by the
Regulator - with the airline and
FTO working in partnership
Competency Based Training?
EUROPE
1. 240 hours minimum requirement as per ICAO
2. Understand ‘competency based’
3. Sensible & practical discussion
4. Progressive ‘agreement to proceed’ issued in stages
26
Competency Based Training?
ASIA – In General
1. Excruciatingly Extraordinarily cautious!
2. 325 – 355 hours minimum requirement or whatever ‘personal view’ of inspector prevails on the day
a) 100 Hours PIC
b) PPL/MEP/IR
c) 120 Hour phase 4/type rating!
d) 20 Aircraft base training circuits
3. Airline must ‘sponsor’ initiative before FTO permitted to even meet regulator

The ‘LEAD’ FTO
ASIA
1. Flight Training Organisation
2. Airline
29
The ‘LEAD’ FTO
1. Can an airline be an FTO?
2. Legal basis for ‘licence’ training?
3. Flight Instructors train for licences – don’t they?
4. Can TRIs/SFIs train for a licence in law and are they capable?
5. Does an aircraft base trainer need to be a Flight Instructor?

MPL – ‘Challenges’ to overcome...
Madness in the USA...
46
To be a First Officer for Pt121 Operations on multi-pilot aircraft:
1. 1,500 hours total time & ATPL issued
2. Reversing airline pilot training progress by at least 50 years!
3. Unlikely we will see MPL in the USA.....?
4. Or does it now support an argument for relevant ‘Approved, competency based training’ to be considered in USA in lieu of hours....?
Reasons given to say no to MPL...
1. “What is an MPL?”
2. “Too expensive”
3. “Too complicated”
4. “You’ll never get me on a flight deck with an FO with only 15 hours solo time”
5. “The regulator will never accept it”
6. “I can never become a Captain”
47
Airlines – why support MPL?
1. RELEVANCE
2. RISK REDUCTION
3. RECRUITMENT
4. RETENTION
48
Airline Pilot Shortage...
“The trouble is that if I allow MPL
into my airline then all these
new, high quality students will
show up just how poor all my
other training courses are - and I
can’t allow that can I Anthony -
far too embarrassing?”
An ironic thought to leave you with...
