Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC)

Description

Multi-crew cooperation (MCC) is a training course that allows pilots to fly multi-crew aircraft. It is a requirement before a pilot may undertake a multi-crew aircraft type rating. It is also required for the issuance of an airline transport pilots license (ATPL) or a multi-crew pilot license (MPL).

In the European Union and United Kingdom, MCC courses are regulated under Part-FCL 735. A longer course, the Airline Pilot Standards (APS MCC) course, is also available. This covers additional material including swept wing aircraft.

A typical MCC course covers the following subjects:

  • Communication, leadership and team working skills
  • Workload management
  • Problem solving and decision making
  • Situation awareness
  • Monitoring and cross-checking
  • Task sharing
  • Use of checklists
  • Briefings
  • Flight management
  • Systems normal operations
  • Systems abnormal and emergency operations
  • Environment, weather and ATC
