The first 70 hours of a MPL Course are conducted in a SE aeroplane at a Integrated FTO together with the standard ATPL theoretical training. How will the first 45 hours differ from the first 45 hours of an Integrated ATPL Course? In the absence of any different syllabus they cannot and JAR-FCL allows a FI(R) to conduct such training.
The requirement to instruct for the basic part of the MPL quoted in EASA-FCL is:
FCL.925
(1) have successfully completed an MPL instructor course at an approved training organisation; and
(2) additionally for the basic, intermediate and advanced phases of the MPL integrated training course:
(i) be experienced in mulit-pilot operations; and
(ii)have completed initial crew resource management training with a commercial air transport operator
Prior to the Basic Phase is the Core Phase
The flying training shall comprise a total of at least 240 hours, composed of hours as pilot flying and pilot not flying, in actual and simulated flight, and covering the following 4 phases of training:
(a) Phase 1 Core flying skills.Specific basic single pilot training in an aeroplane.
(b) Phase 2 Basic.
Introduction of multicrew
operations and instrument flight.
(c) Phase 3 Intermediate.
Application of multicrew
operations to a multiengine
turbine aeroplane certified as a high
performance aeroplane in accordance with Part21
.
(d) Phase 4 Advanced.
Type rating training within an airline oriented environment.
That just about writes off all SE instructors except for the Core Phase but is not accepted yet!
