MPL Partner Airlines CAE Oxord Aviation Academy is currently partnered with Dragonair, easyJet, AirAsia and Flybe to train their uture First Ofcers based upon the new Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL). These programmes are designed as ‘airliner specifc’ operations and incorporate not only the required competency based ight training elements but include additional ‘value-added’ elements o training or the airline including commercial and ground operations, saety and quality systems, environmental considerations as well as an education in the customer service ethos and airline corporate values. Working in partnership with the airlines, we select and train individuals to enter the pilot career by providing a ocused MPL course and appropriate mentorship. The MPL course oers an innovative and competency based approach to Multi-Crew training rom the outset, and provides all the requisite training to qualiy as a First Ofcer or the partner airline.

ATPL Integrated Training Our agship course takes students with little or no previous ying experience to a ‘rozen ATPL’ in approximately 16 months, rom where they are then eligible to work as a First Ofcer with an airline once specifc aircrat type training has been completed. The complete course comprises proessional pilot training leading to the issue o a European Commercial Pilot’s Licence with a Multi-Engine Instrument Rating and MCC certifcate combined with a Foundation Degree in Air Transport Management. Additional personal development is achieved through our innovative SkillsPlus Programme. Most airlines initially assign new First Ofcers to short haul eets so they can rapidly build experience in the more demanding departure, climb, descent, approach and landing phases o ight. Once you have gained 1,500 hours experience, your ATPL becomes ‘unrozen’ and you are then eligible to be considered by your employer airline or promotion to Captain.

Multi-Crew Pilot Licence Training The modern airliner ight deck has changed signifcantly over the past decade whereas the route to training airline pilots has changed little rom the traditional route outlined in Annex 1 o the Chicago Convention, 1948. An ICAO study, commissioned in 2004, reviewed the regulations, structure and methodology by which airline pilots were trained and a new philosophy or better training and preparing pilots or the modern Multi-Crew environment was born, in the orm o the Multi-Crew Pilot Licence, in 2006. Our MPL FIRST OFFICER course incorporates airline specifc Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) rom an early stage in training and this requires an airline to mentor pre-selected cadets through a bespoke course and into type, base and line training on a specifc aircrat; taking about 18 months to achieve licence issue, rom where line training and employment with the mentoring airline commences.
