MPL in EUROPE – R.I.P.
My 5 key points are:
1. To OUTLINE THE MPL for those still unfamiliar with the concept
2. To describe OUR MPL COURSE DESIGN (& a few words of advice!)
3. To dispel a few MPL ‘MYTHS’
4. To describe an essential initiative to encourage MPL ENROLMENTS
5. To outline OPPORTUNITIES to further IMPROVE SAFETY under MPL
1. The MPL concept
... So why MPL?
1.
Many accidents are proven to have
occurred as a result of poor crew
co-ordination and were avoidable
2.
Modern MPA require less SPA
‘Stick & Rudder’ experience due to
design and advanced automation
3.
Traditional courses have extensive
solo PIC hours in SPA which serve
little value for MPA operations where decisions are team based
4.
Time spent in SPA training would
be better spent on more relevant
MPA training

Gaining MPL approval – non generic!
1.
MPL application may not be
considered unless supported by
BOTH an FTO and an airline
2.
Application and approval is
managed by the FTO
3.
Approval is granted for a specific
type of aircraft operated by that
airline
4.
MPL holders must fly with
supporting airline when licensed
5.
MPL status ceases once ATPL
achieved
2. Our MPL Course - designed
with our UK partner airline
Key MPL design characteristics
1.
A training partnership
2.
Relevant to Q400 Type
3.
Incorporate flybe SOPs
4.
MEP element for asymmetric
5.
European ATC exposure
6.

Our words of advice...
1. ATPL theoretical knowledge DOES NOT need to be integrated in
synchronicity with core skills training:
•
•
•
•
It is not required by MPL regulations
It’s pretty difficult to do anyway
Requires ATPL TK and core skills training to be co-located
Don’t let your regulator tell you otherwise!
2. Less than 70 hours of core skills training may meet with some
cynicism...
3. All PIC SOLO flying must still be flown as a single pilot....so caution
teaching MPA SOPs too early else you might just obtain some
negative learning.....

MPL Phase 2 – BASIC MPA & IF Skills
Our words of advice…
1. The regulations DO PERMIT an FNPTII MCC to be used for this
phase
2. The regulations DO NOT LIMIT how many hours you may deliver in
this phase …maximize this phase in terms of:
• Cost efficiencies
• Capability and availability of instructors
3. CAUTION using a TRI to teach basic attitude flying, tracking and
holding procedures - may present more challenges than you think.
4. ‘CONVERT’ your SPA FIs - they will do a good job for you but you do
need TRIs to test them.
5. Pick a SUITABLE MPA type – B200 MCC simulators are limiting!
6. Use GENERIC MPA SOPs in this phase

Our words of advice
1. The regulations DO NOT stipulate how many hours must be
completed in either of these 2 type specific phases – there is a myth
that each phase must be a minimum of 60 hours
2. Both phases combined must meet type rating minimum hours
requirements
3. Try and complete type specific ground training before commencing
phase 3
4. Use airline specific SOPs in both of these phases
3. Some common MPL ‘Myths’
3 routes to become a licenced pilot...
1. Integrated ATPL(A)
2. Modular ATPL(A)
3. MPL(A)
The Modular ‘Baseline’
1. ICAO PPL to enter
2. 90% ATPL theory by post
3. Multiple FTOs permitted
4. No formal training
reporting required
5. Many take years and
multiple attempts to just
achieve minimum
standards!
Myth #1 - ATPL Theoretical Knowledge
1. “ATPL theory training must be
INTEGRATED WITH professional
flight training to become an
effective airline pilot under an
MPL training system”
Myth #1 - ATPL Theoretical Knowledge
1. “ATPL theory training must be
INTEGRATED WITH professional
flight training to become an
effective airline pilot under an
MPL training system”
2. “ATPL theory training MUST BE
COMPLETED BEFORE
professional flight training may
commence to become an effective
airline pilot under a MODULAR
training system”

Message to our MPL Regulator:
Mandate these 3
key improvements
in MPL regulations
and you WILL
FURTHER
ENHANCE FLIGHT
SAFETY as a
result!
In summary...
1. MPL has now started and must
continue to live
2. MPL will deliver better airline pilots
given airline support – PLEASE!
3. Don’t allow ‘legacy’ SPA attitudes to
prevent further MPL progress
4. Don’t believe everything you are told
about MPL – check for yourself!
5. Challenge the regulator to embrace
further MPL evolution and MPL will
DEFINITELY IMPROVE AIRLINE
FLIGHT SAFETY – what more could
one ask!
