you can add to MCC............

Donīt forget that the MCC course syllabus is a MINIMUM spec. You can add to it if you wish and for around 70 quid per hour, 4 extra hours doing the jet handling that you will need for your selection ride is great value for money.

Remember the following:

1) the FNPTs used for MCC do not need to have motion and so most don't (cheaper to build) so for maximum value from your time, I suggest looking for one that does. Also, most are VERY simple devices, offering minimal reality - look for one based a "proper" sim or at least a high quality FNPT2.

2) the CAA will not permit hand flying on the MCC so any hand flying has to be in addition to the MCC. We wish it was not so but rules are rules.

3) You will probably have your selection test flight on a jet sim - so do you really want to do your MCC on a King Air?

4) Ask around - find out (on this forum) who provide GOOD MCC courses - a lot is down to the dedication and enthusiasm (and experience) of the instructors.
