Overview

Designed for Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) holders who have completed a Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (MEIR), this program develops the advanced knowledge and practical skills required for multi-crew flight operations.

Training includes Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) theory, crew resource management, aviation safety, risk management, aviation security, and scenario-based simulator exercises in both Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Monitoring (PM) roles. Upon successful completion, students will receive nationally recognised qualification outcomes and a CASA-approved Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) certification.

Completion of this program may contribute towards meeting certain CASA ATPL knowledge requirements; however, the award of a CASA Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) is subject to satisfying all CASA licensing requirements, including the necessary flight experience and other regulatory criteria.
