ICAOs MPL is a timely solution

• Because the world needs more pilots now
• Because training can be lengthy and inefficient

• Same skills, knowledge, competencies, arguably
  better
• Same privileges as heavy jet-rated CPL pilot with
  the exception of PIC in a single pilot airplane

More time in training
better quality pilots
More time flying
more pilot proficiency
Single pilot training
ready for F/O duties

Basic Single Engine
101 Take-offs 13 precision approaches 32
non-precision approaches

• Basic MPL pilots will have 200 DA40 flight hours
• 83 hours in DA40
• 117 hours in DA40 FTD
• 600 hours of aeronautical experience
• 96 trips as PF crew member
• 32 trips as PM crew member

22
Does MPL have enough flight time?

• CPL/IR/ME pilots have about 250 hours prior to
  jet indoc
• Approx. 50 hours ME
• Approx. 200 hours SE
• CPL/IR/ME pilots will have little or no previous
  crew or airline discipline

• Basic MPL pilots will have 200 DA40 flight hours
• 83 hours in DA40
• 117 hours in DA40 FTD
• 600 hours of aeronautical experience (266 x 3)
• 96 trips as PF crew member
• 32 trips as PM crew member
• Basic MPL pilots employ airline discipline and
  train as crew, except solo

Enough is measured in pilot performance for the
MPL program

Is MPL Safe?
The answer is YES, likely safer!

• But there are legitimate concerns
• Does this shorter program take shortcuts?
• Is the sim a valid replacement for the airplane
  time?
• Will MPL pilots be prepared for emergency command?

28
Does MPL take shortcuts?

• MPL Efficiencies
• No unnecessary learning means no unlearning
• Building airline and crew habits from the
  beginning
• Competency based training ensures every flight is
  a learning opportunity
• No shortcuts in pilot responsibilities
• Aviate
• Navigate
• Communicate
• Oversight and phased implementation

29
Can the sim replace airplane time?

• Simulator training is proven
• Zero flight time type ratings
• Controlled environment ensures training
  objectives are met
• Pure environment allows pilots to see natural
  consequences of poor decision making
• Manage task loading to build competency

30
Will MPL pilots be prepared for emergencies?
Will captains need to compensate for FOs?

• Threat and error management integral to MPL
• LOSA, checklist, other airline SOPs are skills
  and habits introduced from earliest flight
  lessons
• Effective crew communication developed throughout
  training program
• ATP level skills, knowledge and competency
  required for MPL
• Airline experienced pilots will be instructors in
  MPL

31
Alteon MPL Jet-Ready Training Philosophy

• Provide vertically integrated, airline-specific
  training program
• Teach the relevant lessons to develop the right
  skills needed to be a competent, confident First
  Officer
• Progress checks to ensure competency on all
  maneuvers, skills and teaching points
• Integrate glass cockpit and Flight Management
  Systems operations into core flying skills
• Focus on multi-engine / IFR in high workload
  environment
• Utilize simulation devices
• Deliver pilots who are prepared for first officer
  duties
