The DHC-6 is certified by EASA as a single-pilot aeroplane and, under current JAA requirements, you do not need MCC training to obtain a type rating on a single pilot aeroplane. EASA has stated that it intends to tie the MCC requirement to the operation and not the certification, meaning that MCC will be required to operate a single-pilot aircraft as part of a mulit-pilot crew. They have not, however, indicated how they believe it will be possible to legislate or police such a requirement.

I'm pretty sure that it is already the case that if the operator has chosen to nominate the aeroplane as a multi-pilot type then MCC is required (unless the crew member already has 500 hours of multi-pilot experience).

MCC is required only for the first multi-pilot type rating. There is nothing in JAR-FCL 1, the ANO, EU-OPS or even Part-FCL that requires MCC training in any other circumstance. There is nothing in a SPA type rating that restricts its use to single-pilot operations (although, in the UK, it may be restricted to multi-pilot operations).
