OK zooloflyer, having shown that you have a fundamental lack of understanding of what the MCC course is all about, let's get back to the discussion.

The MCC course is defined by JAR-FCL as a non-technical course and the UK CAA, for one, insist that as much as possible is flown with the autopilot engaged. If the STD is hand flown, as zooloflyer suggests, the real point of MCC training cannot be made.

It is clear to me, having to deal with the product of MCC courses on a daily basis, that the most important factor by far is the quality and currency of the instructors. Whether the course is conducted on a turbo-prop, a modern, glass cockpit jet or a super-annuated museum piece like the L-1011 makes absolutely no difference whatsoever.

If you select your MCC training provider based on the quality of instruction and the currency of the instructors and ignore the type of aircraft that the STD seeks to emulate, you will not go far wrong
