3.1 Why you should read this CAAP
3.1.1 This Civil Aviation Advisory Publication (CAAP)
should be read by those interested in developing and conducting
a course oI training Ior the Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL). It
should also be used by trainers involved in the training oI MPL
students and by airlines intending to hire MPL qualiIied pilots.
3.1.2 The CAAP provides inIormation and guidance on the
conduct oI training Ior the MPL.

4.1 What is the purpose of this CAAP?
4.1.1 This CAAP provides guidance on the measures that
should be taken to Iacilitate the saIe and eIIicient delivery oI
training Ior the MPL.
4.2 What is the Multi-crew Pilot Licence?
4.2.1 The MPL was established by the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) in November 2006. It is
prescribed in Section 2.5 oI Annex 1 oI the Convention on
International Civil Aviation (Annex 1).
4.2.2 The MPL is aimed at the training and licensing
requirements oI pilots Ilying, as the co-pilot oI a multi-pilot
crew:
in large, high perIormance, complex aeroplanes; and
operating in all weather conditions according to the
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).
4.2.3 The MPL is an alternative training and licensing
pathway to becoming an airline co-pilot. It complements, but
does not replace, the existing ways oI qualiIying as a co-pilot oI
an aeroplane operated with more than one pilot. (See diagram 1
at Appendix A oI this CAAP).
4.2.4 MPL training and licensing standards prescribed by
ICAO allow Ior greater use oI modern training devices such as
Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTD) in all stages oI
training.
4.2.5 The prerequisites Ior Ilight crew licences include age,
aeronautical knowledge, competency/skill, aeronautical
experience, and training. Apart Irom the MPL, aeronautical
experience standards Ior Ilight crew licences are broken down
into components by stating a minimum number oI hours oI
Ilying such as pilot-in-command, navigation, night and
instrument Ilying.
4.2.6 The ICAO aeronautical experience standard Ior the
MPL is not broken down into components. The standard
speciIies a minimum total number oI 240 hours oI actual or
simulated Ilight hours including the minimum hours to obtain a
private pilot licence.
4.2.7 The move away Irom speciIic components oI
aeronautical experience Ior the MPL reIlects the greater
attention given by Annex 1 to the competency standards
prescribed Ior the licence. Competency standards are already
prescribed Ior each Australian Ilight crew licence. Competency
standards have been developed Ior the MPL and are set out in
CAO 40.1.8.

4.3 What does the MPL authorise?
4.3.1 A person holding an MPL is authorised to perIorm the
duties oI a co-pilot oI at least one type oI turbine-powered
aeroplane which is required to be operated with more than one
pilot.
4.3.2 TransIer training and qualiIication requirements must be
met beIore the holder oI an MPL may operate a single-pilot
aircraIt or exercise the privileges oI another type oI licence such
as the private or commercial pilot licence.
4.3.3 Transition Irom the MPL to the Private Pilot (aeroplane)
Licence (PP(A)L), Commercial Pilot Aeroplane Licence
(CP(A)L) or Air Transport Pilot (Aeroplane) Licence
(ATP(A)L) is subject to the requirements contained in Civil
Aviation Regulations (CAR) 1988.
4.4 What is expected of MPL training?
4.4.1 The MPL requires a person to complete a course oI
approved training, which may only be conducted by authorised
training organisations. According to Annex 1, approved training
involves training which is 'closely supervised, systematic and
continuous, and conIorms to a planned syllabus or curriculum.
4.4.2 An MPL training programme needs to integrate the
knowledge and skill development elements oI training using
various training media such as in-classroom, Ilight procedures
trainers, computer-based training systems, and various levels oI
simulator and aeroplanes. The media used Ior any particular
element in the training should be suitable, appropriate and
eIIective.
4.4.3 MPL courses need to be competency-based. One oI the
attributes oI competency-based training, as deIined in the ICAO
publication, Procedures Ior Air Navigation Services Training
(PANS-TRG), is the use oI a continuous evaluation process to
ensure the eIIectiveness oI training and its relevance to line
operations. This aspect oI continuous evaluation is especially
important given the nature oI the MPL.
4.4.4 The level oI competency expected Irom MPL holders
has been deIined by ICAO in Annex 1. ICAO has also provided
competency units, competency elements and perIormance
criteria Ior the MPL in Appendix 2 oI Chapter 3 in the PANS-
TRG. In broad terms, the MPL holder is expected to be able to
complete an airline`s initial operational experience (IOE) stage
oI training with a high probability oI success, and within the
timeIrame normally allowed Ior that stage.
CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence '
December 2008
4.4.5 CAO 40.1.8 contains the competency standards
including competency elements and perIormance criteria Ior the
grant oI an Australian MPL. These competency standards are
based on ICAO standards.
4.4.6 Training organisations involved in an MPL programme
need to be able to demonstrate, to the satisIaction oI the Civil
Aviation SaIety Authority (CASA), that their training will
produce a graduate with a level oI competency in multi-crew
operations at least equivalent to what is currently expected Irom
graduates oI ab-initio training programmes who have completed
type rating training Ior a multi-pilot aeroplane.
5.1 Overview
5.1.1 Training Ior the MPL may only be conducted by
organisations approved by CASA to conduct MPL training and
the training programme must be approved by CASA.
5.1.2 An appropriate arrangement between all the training
providers and the airline which will be employing the graduates
oI the course is required to ensure the Iollowing outcomes:
theory and practical course content is integrated
throughout the training programme regardless oI which
organisation conducts the training;
an eIIective in-training and post-training evaluation
system will be used throughout the programme;
corrective action is taken iI in-training or post-training
evaluation indicates a need to do so;
procedures and practices learnt in the training
programme are relevant and applicable to the airline`s
operation;
graduates Irom the course are Iully prepared Ior the
airline`s IOE; and
one organisation is accountable Ior the courseware,
eIIective coordination and oversight oI the programme
to ensure it is delivered in accordance with the training
programme that was approved by CASA, quality
assurance, and reporting to CASA.

5.2 Training organisations
5.2.1 Training organisations delivering MPL training must
hold applicable approvals, have suitable Iacilities and resources
and engage appropriately qualiIied personnel. Training
organisations need to satisIy CASA that they have the
capability to deliver the course (or their component oI the
course in the case oI a consortium oI organisations participating
in a programme).
5.2.2 CASA would accept a consortium oI training
organisations collaborating to deliver an MPL course. For
example, an organisation which specialises in ab initio training
could collaborate with another organisation which specialises in
airline type rating training to deliver an MPL package.
Where a programme is to be delivered by a consortium oI
training organisations, one organisation must be nominated as
the accountable organisation.
5.2.3 An MPL course will only be approved iI an airline is
involved. The airline would be the one which is expected to use
the MPL graduates. The airline's involvement is required to
ensure the students are trained in the airline's operating
procedures and the instructors are Iamiliar with the airline's
operation. The airline is expected to at least:
support the training oI instructors used in the
Intermediate and Advanced Stages oI the course;
provide its operational manuals Ior instructors and
students to use in the Intermediate and Advanced Stages
oI the course; and
participate in the selection oI the students.
5.3 Training organisations to hold AOC
5.3.1 An organisation conducting Ilight training in aircraIt
must hold an Air Operator`s CertiIicate (AOC) which was
issued by CASA and authorises the organisation to conduct
MPL Ilying training.
5.3.2 An AOC is a permission granted by CASA under
Section 27 oI the Civil Aviation Act 1988 to conduct
commercial activities prescribed in Regulation 206 oI the Civil
Aviation Regulations (CARs). Flying training conducted in an
aircraIt is a commercial activity. ThereIore, it is unlawIul to
conduct MPL Ilying training without an AOC.
5.3.3 InIormation relating to AOCs Ior Ilying schools may be
read on CASA`s website at the Iollowing link -
http://www.casa.gov.au/aoc/aocapp/initial.htm.
CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence )
December 2008
5.3.4 An organisation which is delivering MPL training other
than in aircraIt, and is not the end-user airline, is not required to
hold an AOC. However, the organisation is expected to satisIy
the same organisational requirements that apply to the holder oI
an AOC.
5.4 Training organisations to have operations manual
5.4.1 Flight training organisations need to have an operations
manual (OM) which is provided Ior the use and guidance oI the
operator`s staII and students. The OM needs to contain such
inIormation, procedures and instructions with respect to the
Ilight operation oI all types oI aircraIt and FSTD operated by
the operator as are necessary to ensure the saIe conduct oI Ilight
operations (CAR 215(2)).
5.4.2 Organisations conducting MPL training are also
expected to have an eIIective SaIety Management System
which is relevant to their operation.
5.4.3 The OM represents the core oI an organisation`s
operation and is provided by the organisation Ior the use and
guidance oI all operational personnel. Accordingly, the manual
needs to be written in a manner that will encourage staII and
students to use the manual as the primary reIerence Ior all
matters relating to the conduct oI training, the operation oI the
organisation, and the operation oI its training devices and
aircraIt. The contents oI the OM should be suIIiciently clear
and detailed to ensure that all personnel working in the
organisation understand all relevant policies and procedures.
5.4.4 II the organisation intends the OM to give a direction Ior
an action to be carried out, then the person or appointment
holder required to carry out the action should be named. It may
also be relevant to state how the action is to be carried out. II it
is intended that discretion is permitted then guidance should be
given on just what discretion is allowed, and how it should be
applied. Organisations should note that while the Iormat oI the
manual is Ilexible they do need to ensure that all aspects oI their
operation are addressed. Advice and guidance on the
preparation oI operations manuals is available in CAAP 215-
1 (0) Guide to the Preparation oI Operations Manuals`.
5.5 Training provider`s organisation
5.5.1 In order to be recognised as approved trainers`,
organisations delivering training Ior the issue oI an MPL will
need to provide a structure which promotes communication
between staII, establishes unambiguous lines oI responsibility
Ior the delivery oI training and includes clear and Iunctional
supervision Ior both staII and students.
*+ CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence
December 2008
Overall control oI training should be vested in one person (such
as a Head oI Training) who has the authority to communicate
with CASA on all training related matters.
5.5.2 A suitable organisational structure is one which:
identiIies the key positions within the organisation and
describes how individual responsibilities will be
allocated;
clearly indicates how supervision will be conducted Ior
both staII and students;
provides a description oI the supervisory structure oI the
organisation;
describes how the supervision oI students will be
achieved; and
gives a clear description oI how junior instructors will
be supervised and how their progress will be monitored
and recorded.
5.5.3 Large organisations need to consider the number oI staII
necessary Ior the saIe conduct and supervision oI their
operation.
5.5.4 Organisations need to take into consideration the
workload (staII numbers) required to monitor any training
delivered by third parties (as applicable).
5.6 Facilities
5.6.1 The Iacilities required to conduct training will vary
according to the size and complexity oI the individual
organisation. However the Iollowing Iacilities should be
considered a minimum:
training rooms that are;
- Iurnished in a manner such that each student has
access to a reasonable study/work area (a chair and
a desk or Ilat surIace suitable Ior writing on), and
- Iree Irom outside distractions (i.e. not part oI the
general public areas oI the organisation);
training aids that are appropriate to the content oI the
course being conducted; and
a general brieIing area suitable Ior the
brieIing/debrieIing oI students beIore and aIter training
Ilights or FSTD sessions. This area should be Iree Irom
distractions, quiet and equipped with some means oI
presenting inIormation in a visual Iormat, such as a
white board.
CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence **
December 2008
5.7 Training aircraft
5.7.1 Training organisations should only use aircraIt that are
equipped in a manner which will enhance the delivery oI Ilight
training and ensure the objectives oI the course are realised,
consistent with the requirements oI an MPL.
5.7.2 The conIiguration oI the training aircraIt must be
orientated to the particular stage oI training. When aircraIt are
used Ior multi-crew operations, the aircraIt needs to be
conIigured Ior realistic multi-crew operations, including
duplicated instrument panels and engine/propeller controls,
such that neither pilot is required to use instruments or controls
that are not on their` side oI the aircraIt.
5.8 Training devices
5.8.1 Training devices used in the MPL course should be
approved Ior that purpose. The devices should conIorm to the
standards speciIied in PANS-TRG.
5.9 Base training
5.9.1 The Iinal element oI an MPL course requires the
students to complete base training in an aircraIt oI the same
type which was used during the Iinal stage oI the course.
5.9.2 The number oI take-oIIs and landings required to be
Ilown by a student during base training is twelve. This number
can be reduced by CASA but in any case not less than six,
based on evidence oI experience gained with MPL
implementation and only where the airline can demonstrate the
eIIectiveness oI a particular MPL training programme.
6.1 Overview
6.1.1 MPL training courses need to be approved by CASA.
The process Ior approving a training course is available Irom
CASA`s website www.casa.gov.
6.2 Course content and structure
6.2.1 The requirements Ior a course oI training are set out in
CAO 40.1.8. The structure oI an MPL course should be
consistent with the content and structure model prescribed in
Annex 1 and PANS-TRG as they apply to the MPL. The ICAO
model Ior the MPL is attached as Appendix B to this CAAP.
6.2.3 A course oI training may only be approved iI it contains
all the elements prescribed by ICAO in PANS-TRG, satisIies
the relevant requirements oI CAR 1988 and accords with the
guidance provided in this CAAP.

6.2.4 The theory requirements Ior the course are set out in
CAO 40.1.8 and cover a set oI examinations that make up the
MP(A)L theory examination. To prepare students Ior the
examination, the course should cover the syllabus content
prescribed by CASA Ior the Iollowing qualiIications.
The syllabus content is published in CAO 40.1.8.
Flight Radio Operator Licence (FROL);
Instrument Rating (Aeroplane);
Type Rating Ior the aircraIt to be used in the Iinal stage
oI the course and as the aircraIt in which the student is
expected to operate during IOE;
Air Transport Pilot (Aeroplane) Licence (ATP(A)L);
and
Relevant content in the Commercial Pilot (Aeroplane)
Licence (CP(A)L) Day VFR Syllabus.
6.3 Resources
6.3.1 The training plan needs to show what resources are to be
used in delivering the course, such as training devices,
computer based training systems, FSTDs and aircraIt.
6.3.2 The OM needs to cover maintenance requirements Ior
training systems and devices and what training and assessment
arrangements are to be used Ior staII required to use the
particular type oI training resources.
7.1 Overview
7.1.1 Training Ior the MPL should be conducted using
competency-based training methods. Guidance material on how
to establish and deliver a training course using these methods is
available Irom CASA`s website www.casa.gov.
7.1.2 ICAO has published inIormation about competency
based training in its publication PANS-TRNG, document
number 9868.
7.2 Students - selection
7.2.1 Students enrolled in an MPL course are expected to
have been selected Ior the course based on their suitability Ior
the role oI co-pilot oI a multi-crew airline operation and their
ability to successIully undertake the course.
7.2.2 The selection process should involve the end-user
airline.

T Tr ra ai in ni in ng g
CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence *"
December 2008
7.2.3 To ensure students are Iully engaged in their course,
they should be inIormed about the requirements oI the MPL.
InIormation should include the prerequisites Ior obtaining an
MPL, the scope and content oI the course, the competency
standards they will be trained Ior and assessed to, the course
schedule and the requirements imposed on holders oI an MPL
that apply post qualiIication.
7.3 Training plans
7.3.1 To obtain an MPL a person must demonstrate
competency by achieving the prescribed Ilight standards. The
standards provide a basis Ior the design oI a training strategy or
plan that will allow the transIer oI skills and knowledge Irom
the instructor to the student in a clear, logical and systematic
manner. As a component oI this process oI transIerring
knowledge, instructors will continuously be assessing the
progress oI a student and then, iI required, modiIying training
methods. These Iormative assessments should be structured and
based on evidence oI appropriate perIormance towards
consistent achievement oI competency, and they must be
recorded.
7.3.2 Training plans need to address each Ilight standard. The
training plan produced by a training organisation should show
in what lesson(s) the perIormance criteria will be taught and
state the desired outcomes.
7.3.3 Some oI the criteria Ior each element may be taught
over a number oI lessons. Where this occurs, it should be
identiIied in the lesson plan. When criteria are spread out over a
number oI lessons, the assessment oI competency and
certiIication oI competency cannot take place until the student
has demonstrated competency in all the criteria speciIied Ior the
element.
7.3.4 The competency standards Ior the MPL are prescribed
in CAO 40.1.8.
7.4 Training records
7.4.1 Accurate, and current, planning and recording is the
core oI any competency-based training programme. Examples
oI suitable training plans and records are available on the
CASA website at www.casa.gov.au/seminars/cbt/intro.htm~.
7.4.2 The standard Ior training records is prescribed in CAO
40.1.8. Training records should incorporate the content oI the
sample in the CAO.
*$ CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence

7.5 Integrated training
7.5.1 Integrated training is a key attribute oI MPL training. It
is achieved where the training plan blends the delivery oI
aeronautical knowledge with the acquisition oI practical Ilying
skills. Correctly planned and implemented integrated training
will allow the student to consolidate their theoretical knowledge
through practical application wherever this is appropriate.
Threat and Error Management (TEM) is an essential element in
all training including the MPL, and so will need to be integrated
throughout the training programme.
7.5.2 A training course speciIied critical and integration
milestones. The minimum milestones are prescribed in CAO
40.1.8. Training organisations are encouraged to ascertain any
other additional milestones they believe are essential to the
conduct oI their course.
7.6 Achievement records
7.6.1 Training organisations are encouraged to develop
achievement records according to their own requirements. An
acceptable Iorm oI achievement records, listing the units and
elements oI competency Ior each stage oI training, is provided
in CA) 40.1.8.
7.6.2 Achievement should be assessed on a scale which has at
least Iour levels.
7.6.3 BeIore being allowed to progress to the next stage oI
training, or recommended Ior a Ilight assessment, a student
must be assessed and certiIied as competent in each element
listed in the appropriate Achievement Record. In addition to the
Flying Instructor`s certiIication, the student must certiIy on the
Achievement Record that the speciIied training has been
completed. To avoid the requirement Ior duplicate certiIications
in successive stages oI training, any element which has been
listed in the same standard in a previous stage is not repeated,
unless there is a need Ior the student to achieve the competency
at a higher level.
7.6.4 The standard speciIied in each Achievement Record is
the minimum required Ior the particular stage but, iI a student
can consistently achieve a higher standard, then the element
may also be certiIied in the achievement records Ior any or all
higher levels. However it should be noted that certiIication Ior
elements at the next stage must not be made until all elements
in the current stage have been completed and certiIied.
7.6.5 The Achievement Record must be checked by the
person conducting a Ilight assessment/test, as having been
completed Ior all items required in that stage oI training.

8.1 Overview
8.1.1 MPL training requires continuous assessment (reIer to
the section on Achievement Records).
8.2 Aeronautical knowledge examinations
8.2.1 MPL pilots are expected to have at least the same
aeronautical knowledge as the holder oI an ATP(A)L.
8.2.2 CASA`s examination system assesses aeronautical
knowledge progressively Irom PPL through the CPL to the
ATPL. CASA does not have a dedicated MPL examination.
8.2.3 Until a dedicated MPL examination is written,
candidates Ior the MPL will be required to successIully
complete the Iollowing CASA aeronautical knowledge
examinations. This list is prescribed in CAO 40.1.8.

8.2.8 Aeronautical knowledge training should be programmed
to accord with sound integrated training practice and to
maximise the transIer oI knowledge to the practical training.
Examinations should be scheduled at appropriate times in the
course.
8.2.9 Students are expected to acquire adequate aeronautical
knowledge to be able to operate those aircraIt used in the
training programme and to conduct the Ilights saIely and
eIIectively.
8.2.10 The ATP(A)L and IREX examinations should not be
attempted prior to the start oI the intermediate stage oI the
course.
8.3 Pass mark
8.3.1 The pass mark Ior CASA aeronautical knowledge
examinations is prescribed in CAO 40.1.8 and is set at 70.
Irrespective oI a pass mark being achieved in an examination, a
knowledge deIiciency report (KDR) will be issued in respect oI
any question to which the candidate gives a wrong answer. The
training organisation is required to test a candidate on all items
on the KDR issued with the examination results beIore the
Ilight test is undertaken. The candidate must demonstrate
understanding oI all items noted on the KDR.
8.4 Flight assessments
8.4.1 Assessment oI the student's competency at the
completion oI each oI the Core, Basic, Intermediate and
Advanced stages is an integral aspect oI the MPL training
programme. These assessments provide the opportunity Ior both
the student and the training organisation to evaluate the eIIicacy
oI the training, and to identiIy any shortcomings or
discrepancies in the training programme.
8.4.2 Any deIiciencies identiIied in these assessments should
be reported back to the training organisation and to CASA Ior
corrective action purposes.
Where appropriate, changes should be made to the training
programme to ensure subsequent courses do not experience the
same deIiciencies.
8.4.3 BeIore each Ilight assessment, the student must have:
received training appropriate to the stage oI the course;
gained any minimum aeronautical experience which is
speciIied in the curriculum;
the level oI aeronautical knowledge speciIied in the
curriculum; and
been recommended Ior the assessment by an instructor.
CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence *'

8.4.4 The Ilight assessment should cover all the items listed
on the Flight Assessment Form provided in CAO 40.1.8.
8.4.5 The student must demonstrate competency in all the
units and elements oI competency speciIied in the applicable
Achievement Record. II the student Iails the Ilight assessment
(is assessed as not yet competent) a re-training programme
structured to address the particular areas identiIied must be
conducted, with re-assessment to occur only on a Iurther
recommendation Irom the instructor responsible Ior the re-
training.
8.4.6 The course assessment plan should include an
assessment oI competency at the end oI each stage oI the
course.
8.5 MPL flight test
8.5.1 The Advanced stage oI the course includes a Iinal MPL
Ilight test and base training. The MPL Ilight test covers the
elements contained in a type rating and an instrument rating
Ilight test.
8.5.2 The Ilight test should include at least 2 Ilight sectors and
separate segments oI the Ilight operating as pilot Ilying and
pilot monitoring.
8.5.3 The test is to cover the Iollowing:
co-pilot duties as pilot Ilying and duties oI pilot
monitoring in normal and non-normal operations;
instrument navigation and terminal procedures; and
normal and non-normal operations.
8.6 MPL flight test prerequisites
8.6.1 BeIore a Ilight test Ior the MPL may be undertaken, a
candidate must:
receive training appropriate to the competency standards
prescribed Ior the MPL including those applicable to the
particular aircraIt type which will be Ilown during IOE;
pass the aeronautical knowledge examinations
prescribed Ior the MPL;
satisIy all the testing requirements prescribed in the
approved training programme;

ChieI Flying Instructor (CFI).
*( CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence
December 2008
8.6.2 MPL Ilight tests will be conducted by CASA Flight
Operations Inspectors (FOI) unless speciIic approval is given to
an Approved Testing OIIicer to conduct the test. The Ilight test
is to cover all the items listed on the Flight Test Form which is
prescribed in CAO 40.1.8.
8.6.3 The candidate must demonstrate to the testing oIIicer
competency in all the units and elements oI competency
speciIied Ior the MPL. II the candidate Iails the Ilight test (is
assessed as not yet competent), the testing oIIicer needs to
notiIy the candidate, CASA and the Ilight training organisation
oI the reason Ior the Iailure (to achieve competency).
8.7 Re-testing
8.7.1 When a candidate Iails to demonstrate competency
during a Ilight test, the testing oIIicer will need to notiIy the
candidate and the training organisation oI the reason Ior the
Iailure, and advise what Iurther training is to be undertaken to
rectiIy identiIied weaknesses. The candidate may then re-apply
Ior a Iurther test aIter certiIication Irom a Flying Instructor that
remedial training has been completed and the applicant is
prepared Ior the Ilight test. The Head oI Training or CFI must
recommend the applicant Ior another Ilight test.
8.7.2 The re-training plan and records should be reviewed by
the testing oIIicer prior to the re-test and should be attached to
the Ilight test report which is to be sent to CASA Ior licensing
purposes.
9.1 English language proficiency required for training
and licensing
9.1.1 Language proIiciency is essential to eIIective learning.
Also, standards have been set Ior language proIiciency Ior Ilight
crew licensing and the operation oI aircraIt.
9.1.2 The requirements Ior language proIiciency are set out in
CAR 5.09(1)(a) and in Civil Aviation Order (CAO) 40.0
English is the language to be used in Australia.
9.1.3 Training providers need to careIully consider language
proIiciency particularly iI the students are not native English
speakers. The training environment Ior the MPL involves multi-
crew concepts and practice and presents an additional Iactor in
the design and delivery oI training and the competencies oI
Ilight instructors conducting training compared to single pilot
instruction.

10.1 Initial operating experience (IOE)
10.1.1 Following graduation, MPL pilots are expected to be
used as co-pilots by the airline which was involved in the
training. The airline`s IOE plan is expected to be incorporated
into the overall training plan.
10.1.2 Where the graduates are to be used by an airline which
does not operate in Australia, suitable arrangements need to be
made between CASA and the oversighting regulatory authority
Ior the purposes oI post-training evaluation and Ieedback to the
training providers and to meet ICAO`s MPL programme
implementation requirements.
11.1 Data collection and reporting
11.1.1 ICAO has published data collection and reporting
requirements Ior organisations conducting MPL training and
airlines using MPL pilots. The purpose oI collecting and
reporting this data is to help ICAO to monitor the
implementation oI the new MPL.
11.1.2 Training organisations delivering MPL training should
submit inIormation to CASA in line with the ICAO documents
attached to State letter AN 12/50-07/37 reIer to CAO 40.1.8.
It is a condition on an approval oI a course that the training
organisation provides this inIormation to CASA.
11.1.3 The accountable organisation will be responsible Ior
collecting the data and providing to CASA the reports that
satisIy the ICAO requirements.
11.1.4 The accountable organisation needs to conduct a review
oI training at the end oI each stage oI the course and produce a
post-stage report which includes a critique oI the objectives oI
the stage oI the course under review, deIiciencies Iound and
corrective actions to be taken to remedy those deIiciencies.
12.1 Competencies and experience
12.1.1 Training outcomes depend heavily on the quality oI the
instruction given and that is reliant on the competence oI the
instructors. ICAO has speciIied the required competencies oI
instructors in PANS-TRG.

12.1.2 MPL training strongly emphases multi-crew operations
and relies heavily on the use oI FSTDs. Also, a thorough
understanding oI competency-based training methods is
required by MPL instructors because MPL licensing standards
are largely based on competency standards. As such, MPL
instructors need to have a wider set oI competencies, compared
to instructors involved in single pilot licence training.
12.1.3 MPL training extends Irom basic ab initio training
through to type rating and multi-crew operational training. Due
to this span oI training, the skill set oI a particular MPL
instructor needs to be relevant to their assigned training tasks.
12.1.4 Organisations planning to deliver MPL training have a
responsibility to either ensure that their instructors have, or
provide a means by which the instructors can achieve, the
Iollowing qualiIications and competencies. The organisation is
required to state in its training plan what criteria it would use to
engage instructors Ior an MPL course.
12.1.5 For all instructors engaged in training Ior the MPL:
Ior Ilying instructors engaged in training Ior the Core
and Basic Stages:
- competencies set out in Appendix C to this CAAP;

instructors involved in training in aircraIt.
12.2 Induction
12.2.1 The standardisation oI instructors is essential Ior any
MPL training organisation. Induction training, which covers the
Iollowing elements, will provide a suitable level oI initial
standardisation:
structure and management chain oI responsibility:
- This should provide the new instructor with a clear
understanding oI the hierarchy oI the organisation
and the lines oI communication and responsibility;
and
- Instructor and student duties and responsibilities,
with particular attention given to the conduct oI in-
Ilight procedures such as;
multi-crew operations, and
emergency and non-normal procedure
training.
multi-crew operations:
- Particular attention should be given to ensuring
that instructors are cognisant oI the diIIerences in
multi-crew training, and are Iamiliar with the
speciIic requirements oI the organisation with
respect to multi-crew training.
course speciIic training:
- Complete training to proIiciency in delivering
training in those elements oI the course to which
the instructor will be assigned.
,, CAAP 5.216-1(0): Multi-Crew Pilot Licence

threat and Error Management (TEM):
- Clearly address the need Ior TEM;
- Ensure that all instructors clearly understand the
importance oI applying TEM in training;
- Ensure that instructors understand how to deliver
TEM training; and
- Ensure that instructors are competent in the
assessment oI TEM.
supervision:
- Address the need Ior supervision and the
individual responsibilities oI instructors; and
- Operations Manual;
Instructors should be leIt in no doubt as to
the need Ior them to conduct all operations in
accordance with the procedures laid down in
the operations manual;
Pre- and post-Ilight brieIings procedures; and
In addition to addressing the policy on
brieIings, instructors should be given the
opportunity to review and reIresh their
individual brieIing techniques.
training procedures:
- Address the Operations Manual provisions on
training including the use oI Training Plans,
Achievement Records etc;
- Recording procedures; and
- Instructors should be given the opportunity to gain
Iamiliarity with the organisation`s recording
methods. In particular, attention should be given to
the need Ior accurate Training Records, and the
need to maintain up to date Achievement Records.
12.2.2 The training organisation should keep detailed records
oI all induction training including evaluations oI the training.
12.3 Recurrent training
12.3.1 Recurrent training represents the ongoing aspect oI
standardisation and should reinIorce many oI the topics
addressed during induction training. Accordingly, the Iollowing
topics need to be part oI any recurrent training programme:
instructor and student duties and responsibilities;
organisational/operational changes;
supervision Ior those involved in supervising other
instructors;
pre- and post-Ilight brieIings procedures;
use oI training devices (tips and tricks);
training procedures; and

recording procedures.
12.3.2 Provision should be made Ior each instructor (under the
guidance and supervision oI senior staII) to evaluate their own
Ilight instructional techniques and procedures to identiIy any
weaknesses or deviations Irom the requirements oI the OM.
12.3.3 The training organisation should keep detailed records
oI all recurrent training including evaluations oI the training.
12.4 Duty roster systems
12.4.1 The requirements Ior instructor rostering will vary
according to the size and complexity oI the individual training
organisation. For small organisations a suitable rostering system
need be no more complex than a simple whiteboard showing
instructional and other duties with provision Ior the display oI
rest periods. Larger organisations will need to take a more
detailed approach to instructor rostering, and may need to make
use oI a computerised system. Regardless oI size, organisations
will need to ensure that the rostering system makes provision
Ior the inclusion oI standardisation/recurrent training
undertaken by instructors.
12.4.2 Relevant inIormation on Iatigue risk management
system (FRMS) standards and accommodating FSTD training
duties is available Irom the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Part 142 and Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR).

14.1 Records management
14.1.1 Organisations need to ensure that all staII, student and
test/examination records are kept secure, and that access is
suitably restricted.
14.1.2 The level oI security will depend on the nature oI the
storage medium and organisations would be expected to
provide regular back-up (at least weekly) and secure oII-site
storage Ior any electronic record-keeping system. Hardcopy
records should be stored in secure Iire-prooI containers.
14.1.3 Access to records (hard or soIt copy) should be
restricted according to the Iollowing guidelines:
student records - student, applicable instructor and
supervisor(s), CFI and Head oI Training (or other
nominee). Other instructors/staII should only have
access where approved by the Head oI Training (or
other nominee);
staII records - individual staII member, supervisor(s),
Head oI Training, CFI plus (where appropriate) Human
Resource staII; and
examination records - appropriate instructors,
supervisor(s), CFI, Head oI Training (or other nominee)
and examiner where applicable.
14.1.4 Where an organisation keeps records electronically the
integrity oI the records, in particular the sign-oII, needs to be
ensured at all times. Also organisations need to ensure that any
data added aIter 'sign-oII' is clearly identiIied. There are an
increasing number oI means to achieve the necessary level oI
integrity, including:
password control;
identity/key card entry control;
locked data entry aIter 'sign-oII';
date and time marking oI entries; and
highlighted amendments.
