  1. Working WITH an airline and the regulator to produce a FANTASTIC newMulti Pilot’s Licence (MPL) course Anthony Petteford

  2. My 5 key points are: • To OUTLINE THE MPL for those still unfamiliar with the concept • To describe OURMPL COURSE DESIGN (& a few words of advice!) • To dispel a few MPL‘MYTHS’ • To describe an essential initiative to encourage MPL ENROLMENTS • To outline OPPORTUNITIES to further improve safety under MPL

  3. 1. The MPL concept

  4. ... So why MPL? • Many accidents are proven to have occurred as a result of poor crew co-ordination and were avoidable • Modern MPA require less SPA ‘Stick & Rudder’ experience due to design and advanced automation • Traditional courses have extensive solo PIC hours in SPA which serve little value for MPA operations - where decisions are team based • Time spent in SPA training would be better spent on more relevant MPA training

  5. MPL generic design - Competency Based (min 240 hours) • PLUS: • ATPL Theoretical Knowledge • Type Theoretical Knowledge • Threat & Error Management (TEM) • Interactive ATC Communications

  6. Gaining MPL approval – non generic! • MPL application may not be considered unless supported by both an FTO and an airline • Application and approval is managed by the FTO only • Approval is granted for a specific type of aircraft operated by that airline • MPL holders must fly with that airline when licensed • MPL status ceases once ATPL achieved

  7. 2. Our MPL Course - designed with our UK partner airline

  8. Key MPL design characteristics • A training partnership • Relevant to Q400 Type • Incorporate flybe SOPs • MEP element for asymmetric • European ATC exposure • Price < = traditional ATPL • Include € ‘funding support’ • SPA reversion ‘Safety Net’

  9. MPL Phase 1 – Core skills in SPA • Complex SEP retractable from day 1 • 58 Hours DUAL training • Just 12 hours PIC SOLO • MPA SOPs introduced after PIC SOLO hours completed

  10. MPL Phase 1 – Core skills in SPA • Complex MEP retractable to introduce asymmetric handling skills • Just 5 Hours DUAL training

  11. MPL Phase 1 – Core skills in SPA • 5 hours UPSET RECOVERY training • Blend of SEP & MEP

  12. MPL Phase 1 – Core skills in SPA • 10 Hours FNPTII Simulator • Blend of SEP & MEP

  13. MPL Phase 1 – Core skills in SPA

  14. Our few words of advice... • ATPL theoretical knowledge DOES NOT need to be integrated in synchronicity with core skills training: • It is not required by MPL regulations • It’s impossible to do! • Requires ATPL and core skills training to be co-located • Don’t let your regulator tell you otherwise! • Less than 70 hours of core skills training may meet with some cynicism... • All PIC SOLO flying must still be flown as a single pilot....so caution teaching MPA SOPs too early else you might just obtain some negative learning.....

  15. MPL Phase 2 – Basic MPA & IF Skills

  16. MPL Phase 2 – BASIC MPA & IF skills

  17. Our few words of advice… • The regulations DO PERMIT an FNPTII MCC to be used for this phase • The regulations DO NOT LIMIT how many hours you may deliver in this phase …maximize this phase in terms of: • Cost efficiencies • Capability and availability of instructors • CAUTION using an airline TRI to teach basic IFR attitude flying, tracking and holding procedures - may present more challenges than you think • ‘CONVERT’ your SPA FIs - they will do a good job for you • Pick a SUITABLE MPA type – B200 MCC simulators are limiting! • Use GENERIC MPA SOPs in this phase

  18. MPL Phases 3 & 4 - type specific MPA Skills Plus Base Training - 12 Landings

  19. MPL Phases 3 & 4 - type specific MPA Skills

  20. Our few words of advice • The regulations DO NOT STIPULATE how many hours must be completed in either of these 2 type specific phases – there is a myth that it must be at least 60 hours per phase • Both phases combined must meet type rating minimum hours requirements • Complete type specific ground training before commencing phase 3 • Use airline specific SOPs in both of these phases

  21. ATPL Theory / Type theory / TEM • Maximise the use of CBT throughout • Deliver the majority of ATPL theory up-front: • Cost effective • Good indicator of potential performance in flight training • Apply TEM lessons throughout • Use a Learning Management System • Total MPL duration - 60 weeks

  22. 3. Some common MPL ‘Myths’

  23. 3 routes to become an airline pilot... • MPL(A) • Integrated ATPL(A) • Modular ATPL(A)

  24. The Modular student ‘Benchmark’ • ICAO PPL to enter • 90% ATPL theory by post • Multiple FTOs permitted • No formal training reporting required • Many take years and multiple attempts to just achieve minimum standards!

  25. Myth #1 - ATPL Theoretical Knowledge • “ATPL theory training must be INTEGRATED WITH professional flight training to become an effective airline pilot under an MPL training system”

  26. Myth #1 - ATPL Theoretical Knowledge • “ATPL theory training must be INTEGRATED WITH professional flight training to become an effective airline pilot under an MPL training system” • “ATPL theory training MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE professional flight training may commence to become an effective airline pilot under a MODULAR training system”

  27. Myth #1 - ATPL Theoretical Knowledge • “ATPL theory training must be INTEGRATED WITH professional flight training to become an effective airline pilot under an MPL training system” • “ATPL theory training MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE professional flight training may commence to become an effective airline pilot under a MODULAR training system”

  28. Myth #2 - Total ‘FTO MANAGED’ hours

  33. Myth #4 - Multi engine training

  34. Myth #5 - SOLO PIC time

  35. Myth #5 - SOLO PIC time

  36. Myth #6 - RELEVANCE of hours

  37. Myth #6 - RELEVANCE of hours

  38. 4. Encouraging new MPL Enrolments

  39. Why do they need encouragement?

  40. ATPL Integrated SPA ‘Safety Net’ • Extra 58 hours PIC • 38 hours solo PIC • 20 Hours SPIC • SEP CPL Training & Test • MEP IR Training & Test • Extra 108 hours

  41. ATPL Integrated SPA ‘Safety Net’ Cost €25,000

  42. ATPL Integrated SPA ‘Safety Net’ Funded by either the FTO or Airline Cost €25,000
