I have been the Exec. Director at CAPT in Florida (Flagler County Airport- between Daytona Beach and Jacksonville) since April 2007. And yes, I was at one time a manager at Beijing PanAm having departed there early in 2007.
The CAPT Program curriculum is not currently MPL but does utilize many of the same principles: CRM, TEM, scenario based, etc. The full curriculum also ends with a type rating in an MD-90 (DC-9 series aircraft). The school is developing a curriculum under FAR 142 that would allow greater use of simulation as in an MPL program. That curriculum should be available later this year.
If you would like any further information from me about CAPT (or flight training in China), send me an email:
[email protected].
The school is approved by the Chinese CAAC and has contracts with several airlines and universities in China to provide flight training for their students.
