Airline Pilot Standards Multi Crew Cooperation

Your Introduction to Airline Operations

Whether you are studying as part of our Integrated LEAP course or are a Modular student looking for a standalone course, the final phase of ATPL flight training is the Airline Pilot Standards Multi-Crew Cooperation Course, the APS MCC.

Your APS MCC will be conducted in our state-of-the-art MPS Airbus A320 FTD-1 Simulator and will be your first taste of flying as an airline pilot in Commercial Air Transport (CAT) operations. You’ll learn to work as part of a flight crew and learn how to fly a modern swept-wing jet airliner using recognised Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

The APS MCC Course Reimagined

Developed in collaboration with a team of A320 pilots; from First Officers to Captains, our APS MCC course has been completely reimagined to go beyond standard training. Using modern technology and our MPS Airbus A320 FTD-1 simulator, equipped with a full Airbus data pack and multiple HD airports, we provide an immersive, realistic, and highly effective learning environment.

Every student learns differently, and our bespoke programme is designed to build both skill and confidence, ensuring each trainee not only meets but exceeds CAA and EASA ATPL standards. The APS MCC course also constitutes an element of our industry-leading ‘The Whole Pilot®‘ Programme. It comprehensively aligns with and evaluates ICAO’s nine pilot competencies, ensuring trainees demonstrate real-world performance and professional readiness for the flight deck.

What Our Graduates are Saying

“The APS course led and designed by Leading Edge Aviation was outstanding. Using the A320 simulator, the course took us all the way from learning how to start the A320 up to our final assessment where we were able to fly two sectors and handle all the emergencies that were thrown at us! Throughout the course it was clear that every part of the course had been reimagined from the pre reading content to embedding airline operational awareness in nearly every sim we did.”
