Module Title: | Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL) |
Language of Instruction: | English |
Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
Teaching will be conducted using briefings and practical work in an aircraft simulator.
At the end of each practical section, students will be debriefed as to their progress and will be graded accordingly.
|
Module Aim: |
To provide a student with a multi-crew pilot licence (MPL) by training one to the level necessary to operate as a co-pilot in a multi-engine, multi-pilot, turbine-powered commercial air transport aeroplane under visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR). |
Learning Outcomes |
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to: |
LO1 |
Perform core flying skills (specific basic single-pilot training) |
LO2 |
Peform basic flying skill in a multi-crew operation under instrument flight rules. |
LO3 |
Apply multi-crew operations to a multi-engine turbine aeroplane certified as a high performance aeroplane. |
LO4 |
Achieve a Type Rating within an airline environment. |
