moggiee - I think you have misunderstood the requirement. If the MCC is combined with the type rating, as the JAA would prefer, the requirement for MCC practical training is reduced to 10 hours. However, nowhere does it suggest that this time is in addition to the type rating hours and no TRTO that I am aware of puts an extra 10 hours on for MCC training. There is certainly a need for some extra training on a combined MCC course but, in my experience, that is seldom more than one sim sortie (4hrs) the remaining 6 hours is an integral part of type rating training. It would seem from MrHorgy's post that this is exactly what Bond are doing.

However, there is still a requirement for 25 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction and exercises and it would be interesting to know how Bond can fit that into 'a day's groundschool'!
