Course Summary

Simtech Aviation’s Airline Pilot Standard or ‘APS MCC’ is an advanced MCC course that trains pilots to be ready for Type Rating. The course is structured to enhance the pilot knowledge of Boeing’s SOP’s, airline line operations and handling characteristics of the 737-800 aircraft both in normal and non-normal operations. The pilot will also get a firm understanding of the complex aircraft systems and extensive use of the 737-800 FMS. 

The APS MCC consists of 4 days in ground school and a total of 40 hours in the 737-800 simulator. This course is spread over 16 days (4 days in ground school, 5 days in the simulator then 2 days off and followed by another 5 days in the simulator).

The course covers items such as CRM, Airline Operations, Aircraft Technical Type SOP’s & Profiles, UPRT, General Handling, Complex Systems & FMS. These will take place on an MPS 737-800.

Once you have successfully passed your APS MCC modules and sim assessments, we will issue you with a EASA or UK CAA APS MCC Certificate and you will be ready for that first all-important Airline Assessment.

Entry Requirements

Cadets are required to provide the following documentation and certification:

  • ELP Certificate (Level 4)

Please note: Documentation indicating that the MEIR test has been passed will suffice if time has not allowed the Rating to be placed on the Licence. However, your APS MCC Certificate will not be issued until a copy of the Licence including the MEIR has been received.

All documentation must be uploaded to Flight Logger at least 10 days before your course start date.
