As for the why, dont ask me, but for helicopters the MCCI qualification is included with the SFI/TRI authorisation. So,every SFI & TRI can teach MCC, even if he hasnt the foggiest idea what it is all about. Fortunately, at least in the UK, there is a requirement for instructors to be CRMI qualified, which is near as dammit the same thing. Unfortunately the wooly wording of JAA says that CRM instructors have to be appropriately qualified, without saying anything about what that qualification should be. So, in most European countries you can crack on and teach it as long as you can spell it! Its very frustrating -I'm trying to set up MCC courses in a country which has been paying lip-service to the idea for a while. To try to bring in best practice and instructor training, you start with a blank sheet and make it up as you go along!
