CRM = MCC?

[Will964]

I attended the Crew Resource Management and Jet Line Orientated Flight Training courses at Oxford Air Training School, Oxford UK in1998. Is this considered the same as a MCC course? Does CRM = MCC and it’s just a buzz word change or has there been a large enough change in practises for airlines to require me to do an MCC course as well?

I doubt that your existing courses cover the MCC requirement. I believe that only previous MPA experience can absolve you from the need to do an MCC course. Judging by the fact that most schools doing MCC also offer CRM and LOFT courses, I think you are out of luck...

BCFT, OAT and Jetlinx have reasonable explanations of the MCC content if you want to compare with what you've been taught already.

I don't think so, but xcheck with OAT for that. Normally these days you get a certificate of completion at the end of the MCC.

Short answer no.

MCC is not a crm course, but a broad understanding of multi crew ops. You need 25 hours classroom and 20 hours sim time.

They are approved courses and although you cant really fail (unless you dont turn up or play the game) you have to complete all the course requirements.

There has been masses said on this forum about tick in the box and pros and cons of using a full motion jet sim.

I have run over 20 courses so far and everyone that has done them thought they were well worth the time, effort and more importantly money.

The course will give you an indepth insight into your future carreer (if your going into the airline world) and prepare you for your interview sim rides.

I believe that if the MCC is completed as part of an integrated course then only 16 hours of SIM time are required. But I guess that in Will964's case, that doesn't apply.

Not trying to be pedantic, I just have too much time on my hands!
