It will use a flight model that is very close indeed to that of a Full Flight Sim. The approval as a "generic" jet is mainly a cost issue (allowing it to be certified as an FNPT2 rather than FFS) but it should look and feel very much like an FFS when it comes down to it. As long as it handles and performs like the real thing (it will) then it will be perfectly acceptable for MCC and JOC.
Of more relevance is the quality of the instruction and the course syllabus - I would expect both of those at OAA to be good.
