On the other hand, if the MPL takes off, will there be a need for advanced instructors?
I think this will turn out to be quite interesting. As I understand it the actual hands on flying of the MPL is little more than PPL levels, the rest being in a MCC Sim. IOs it going tobe an 'intergrated' only route, or can you turn up with a PPL and move on from there.
It looks as if it could be the end of the commercial flight instructor. As most of the training is sim based and MCC orientated, the minimum instructor requirement will be 1500 hours of multicrew flying.
Professional instructors will either be doing single engine PPL stuff, or Sim based MCC, having had airline experience themselves
