FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What prerequisites, documents, and minimum experience do national authorities require
Typical prerequisites include a valid CPL or ATPL (as applicable), instrument rating, and the minimum flight experience required by your national aviation authority. We offer guidance on documentation and can tailor the program to meet regulatory requirements for different jurisdictions.
What practical flight time and simulator exposure should I expect
Jet‑O typically includes several dual jet flights or FNPT sessions focused on takeoff/landing, energy control, and abnormal handling. MCC is classroom plus multi‑crew simulator sessions or FNPT‑II scenarios emphasizing SOPs, briefings, and non‑technical skills. Expect 4–12 flight/sim hours total across both courses depending on modular vs integrated formats.
Who should take Jet Orientation first and when to add MCC
We recommend completing Jet‑O before MCC if you have little or no jet experience, because Jet‑O gives the handling confidence MCC assumes. If you already have recent jet time, you can do MCC first to lock in crew procedures, then a short Jet‑O refresher if needed.
What is covered in a Jet Orientation course and how does it differ from MCC
Jet Orientation teaches jet‑specific aerodynamics, systems basics, jet handling (jet start, acceleration, energy management), and jet SOPs in a single‑pilot or light‑crew environment. MCC focuses on crew resource management, standard callouts, task sharing, CRM, and multi‑crew procedures in a multi‑pilot cockpit. Jet‑O builds individual jet handling skills; MCC builds coordinated crew behaviour and decision making.
Boeing 737 Advanced Procedures Trainer (APT)
Airline‑Level Training for the Next Generation of Commercial Pilots
The Boeing 737 Advanced Procedures Trainer (APT) is a high‑fidelity training device designed to bridge the gap between general aviation and full‑motion airline simulators. At International Pilot Academy, the 737 APT provides students with an immersive, airline‑style environment where they can develop the technical and procedural skills required for modern commercial operations.
Built around the Boeing 737 flight deck layout, the APT allows pilots to practice Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), checklist flows, cockpit coordination, and multi‑crew communication in a realistic and structured setting. Students gain hands‑on experience with FMS programming, autopilot modes, MCP operations, and airline‑style decision‑making, all while learning to manage workload and maintain situational awareness.
