Multi Crew Cooperation and Jet Orientation Course Practicum
Overview
To transition students from single-pilot to multi-crew operations by developing the Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Threat and Error Management (TEM) skills required for safe, efficient flight deck operation, while consolidating existing instrument flying and technical competence across all phases of flight, so that they operate with the autonomy, judgement and accountability expected of a multi-crew airline pilot.
