Presentation objectives 1. To OUTLINE THE NEW MPL for those unfamiliar with the concept 2. To describe OUR 2 MPL COURSE DESIGNs with some key points 3. To describe an essential initiative to encourage MPL ENROLMENTS 4. To outline OPPORTUNITIES to further IMPROVE training under MPL
... So why MPL? 1.
Many accidents are proven to have occurred as a result of poor crew co-ordination and were avoidable
2.
Modern MPA require less SPA ‘Stick & Rudder’ experience due to design and advanced automation
3.
Traditional courses have extensive solo PIC hours in SPA which serve little value for MPA operations where decisions are team based
4.
Time spent in SPA training would be better spent on more relevant MPA training

Gaining MPL approval – non generic! 1.
MPL application may not be considered unless supported by BOTH FTO and sponsoring airline
2.
OAA founder member of EASA MPL panel
3.
Application and approval is managed by the FTO a) b)
OAA approved under EASA OAA approval expected under CASA and HKCAD regulations mid 2010 once sponsoring airlines confirmed
4.
Approval is granted for a specific type of aircraft operated by the airline
5.
MPL holders must fly with sponsoring airline when licensed
6.
MPL status ceases once ATPL achieved
So why 2 MPL designs? 1.
More conservative regulators who wish to see MPL introduced progressively from existing 200 flying hour courses
2.
Desire for ICAO 70 hours PIC included in basic course design
3.
Desire for turbine flight time in course to consolidate phase 2 skills with a formal test
4.
Opportunity for a CPL Skills Test equivalent - flown as MPA
Our MPL Course - designed with our UK partner airline
Key MPL design characteristics 1.
A training partnership
2.
Relevant to Q400 Type
3.
Incorporate flybe SOPs

Key points 1. ATPL theoretical knowledge DOES NOT need to be integrated in synchronicity with core skills training: • It is not required by MPL regulations • It’s pretty difficult to do anyway • Requires ATPL TK and core skills training to be co-located
2. Any less than 70 hours of core skills training in a real aircraft may meet with some cynicism 3. 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

Key points 1. The regulations DO PERMIT an FNPTII MCC to be used for this phase 2. 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
3. CAUTION using a TRI to teach basic attitude flying, tracking and holding procedures - may present more challenges than you think. 4. ‘CONVERT’ your SPA FIs - they will do a good job for you but you do need TRIs to test them. 5. Pick a SUITABLE MPA jet type simulator with EFIS 6. Use GENERIC MPA SOPs in this phase

MINIMUM OF 12 LANDINGS
Key points 1. The regulations DO NOT stipulate how many hours must be completed in either of phases 3 and 4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is a myth that each phase must be a minimum of 60 hours 2. Both phases combined must meet regulatory type rating - minimum hours requirements 3. Try and complete type specific ground training before commencing phase 3
4. Use airline specific SOPs in both of phases 3 and 4 5. The use of the BE90 in phase 2 may: a. b. c.
limit base training to 12 landings Improve visual segment capabilities Save costs

Opportunities to improve using MPL

Team Skills Personality Profiling

MANDATE UPSET RECOVERY training
In summary... 1. MPL has now started and must continue to live and be encouraged 2. MPL will deliver better airline pilots given airline support. 3. Don’t allow ‘legacy’ SPA attitudes to prevent further MPL progress 4. Encourage the regulator to embrace further MPL evolution 5. MPL should make airline pilot training more relevant and IMPROVE AIRLINE FLIGHT SAFETY.
