An Airline View of MPL Brian Watt Head of Crew Training Flybe
MPL – The Airline The ATPL syllabus is outdated and requires MCC and JOC elements prior to Type Rating course Single pilot training has limited benefit Need to train TEM and CRM concepts at a much earlier stage and to a much higher level MPL is truly an airline orientated course Quality
MPL – The Airline Early introduction to flybe sops Training tailored to the demonstrated needs of the airline. Direct feedback of competence data to the MPL course. Tailored Training
MPL – The Airline Training and checking is based on standardised levels of competency rather than merely completing the required course and tests. Competency Based Training
MPL – The Airline Flybe pilots from the outset of their training. Initially – operator focussed. Longer period of bonding – until a command level of experience is attained. Commercial - Retention
MPL – The Airline The course and licence is utterly vocational – there will be no PPL included. The subsequent employment will almost certainly be UK based. Integration of the MPL into a full degree course brings recognition by awarding bodies. Possible Funding
MPL – Flybe/FTE Characteristics of Flybe/FTE MPL Course • Integrated Theoretical Knowledge Instruction (TKI). Core Phase – JAR TKI integrated with flying. Basic Phase – 5 days TKI (associated technical and multi-crew skills). Intermediated Phase – 5 days TKI (associated technical and multi-crew skills). Advanced Phase – 12 days TKI (type specific). • Core Phase - Single pilot basic flying skills, CRM and TEM. MEP flying covering asymmetric handling, landing techniques and procedural IF. 3 hours upset training. • Basic Phase - Flybe SOPs introduced. Development of CRM and TEM in multi-crew environment. • Intermediate Phase – Further development of CRM and TEM in non-normal situations and LOFT exercises. • Advanced Phase – Type specific training including 12 T/O and landings.
MPL – Flybe/OAA Multi crew procedures introduced after 50 hours flight training - Core phase Flybe SOP’s introduced - Intermediate phase 5 Hours upset training in the Zlin - Core phase 2 Hours upset training in the CRJ200 FNPT II - Basic phase MEP element to cover asymmetric flight using the PA34 - Core phase First Officer Fundamentals Course - Core phase Foundation Degree in Air Transport Management - Core & Basic phases ATPL theoretical knowledge revisited - Core & Basic phases SPA Safety net Characteristics of the OAA MPL
MPL – The Risks • Commercial – the Airline recruitment • The student The Risks?
MPL MPL – The Future... • Must retain flexibility to address and meet the needs of the partner operator • Must meet or exceed the standards delivered by the existing ATPL • Must not exceed the cost of the existing ATPL • Should provide a path to easier and wider funding of airline pilot training • Promises to produce safer airline pilots
