Greybird's APS MCC product
Dreaming of a career as an airline captain?
Then an APS MCC course is the natural next step. As a complement to your ATPL(A) and CPL(A) licences, this course provides the skills and operational understanding that airlines today expect from aspiring pilots. At Greybird Pilot Academy, we now offer our groundbreaking APS MCC course to external students – a course previously reserved exclusively for our own trainees. The training is conducted in our state-of-the-art Airbus A320 simulator, carefully selected to provide the most realistic and professional experience available on the market. This simulator is market-leading and was chosen from multiple candidates across Europe. Sitting in the simulator is an incredibly realistic experience; many cockpit panels are taken directly from a real Airbus. The visual system uses laser projectors and features extremely realistic graphics.
Our instructors are experienced pilots with backgrounds at companies such as SAS, Emirates, Ryanair, and Norwegian. They have type experience on the A380, A320, B737, and B787 – and many more.
The training programme and theoretical material used in the course are developed by Greybird and are not available elsewhere. The material is created by experienced captains who have had long careers in the training departments of the leading Scandinavian airlines. We are very proud that the product we offer at Greybird is among the absolute best – if not the absolute best – available in Europe.
The APS MCC course consists of 40 hours of theory and 40 hours of training in our A320 simulator. In other words, you will be fully prepared for your upcoming simulator assessment with a major airline when applying for your first job, for example as a First Officer!

What is APS MCC?
APS MCC stands for Airline Pilot Standard Multi-Crew Cooperation (the airline standard for cooperation between several crew members), and its purpose is not only to train the student to cooperate, either with their Captain or their Second Pilot, but also to train the student to work within an airline – a job that involves a great deal more than just sitting in the cockpit with the captain on the left.
Today, APS MCC is considered a standard requirement for newly qualified pilots. The differences between a traditional MCC course and an APS MCC course are many. The APS MCC course includes nearly three times as many flight hours, and the quality of the theoretical syllabus is unparalleled. While an MCC course solely trains pilots to operate in a multi-crew concept, an APS MCC course is far more comprehensive and in-depth.
An APS MCC course consists of three different parts, one of which is nearly identical to the traditional MCC course, although even this part is more in-depth. The second part of the course is about energy management; that is, how to operate a large, heavy jet with swept wings in different scenarios. The third part of the course consists of scenario training. The purpose of the APS MCC course is to make the student 100% qualified to commence a type rating, without needing further training.
Most airlines prefer that applicants have completed the APS MCC course, and not just a traditional MCC course – indeed, some require it. This is because an APS MCC course directly qualifies the pilot to commence a type rating.
