• Dual cross-country flying using external visual references,DR and radio navigation aids, diversion procedures
• Aerodrome and traffic pattern operations at different aerodromes

• Crosswind take-offs and landings
• Abnormal and emergency procedures and manoeuvre, including simulated aeroplane equipment malfunctions
• Operations to, from and transiting controlled aerodromes,compliance with ATS procedures, R/T procedures and phraseology
• Knowledge of meteorological briefing arrangements,evaluation of weather conditions for flight and use of AIS.

PHASE 3: Intro Commercial Flight (CPL Stage)

Exercises up to the VFR navigation progress test comprise a total of at least 50 hours as PIC. The dual instruction and testing up to the VFR navigation and 5 hours flight time shall be completed at night, comprising 3 hours of dual instruction, which will include. At least:

1 hour cross-country navigation and 5 solo take off landings, and 5 solo full stop landing and UPRT flight instruction

• Repetition of exercises of phases 2 and 3;
• VFR flight at relatively critical high air speeds, recognition of and recovery from spiral dives;
• VFR navigation progress test conducted by an FI not connected with the applicant’s training;
• Night flight time including take-offs and landings as PIC.

PHASE 4: Advance Flight Skill

Exercises up to the instrument rating skill test comprise:

• 115 hours instrument time, of which
• 20 hours as SPIC
• 15 hours MCC, for which an FFS or FNPT II may be used
• 50 hours of instrument flight instruction, which up to

40 hours is instrument ground time in an FNPT II, FTD 2 or FFS of which up to 10 hours may be conducted in an FNPT I by an FI or an authorised SFI

• 55 hours instrument time flown as SPIC on actual aircraft;
• Pre-flight procedures for IFR flights, including the use of the flight manual and appropriate ATS documents in the preparation of an IFR flight plan;

• Procedures and manoeuvre for IFR operation under normal, abnormal and emergency conditions covering at least:
  1. Transition from visual to instrument flight on take-off
  2. SIDs and arrivals
  3. En-route IFR procedures
  4. Holding procedures
  5. Instrument approaches to specified minima
  6. Missed approach procedures
  7. Landings from instrument approaches, including circling
• In-flight manoeuvres and specific flight characteristics

Operation of an ME aeroplane – 35 hours
Including operation of the aeroplane solely by reference to instruments with one engine simulated inoperative, and engine shut-down and restart (the latter training at a safe altitude or carried out in the FSTD).

PHASE 5: Advanced UPRT

Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT) is a method of teaching pilots to maintain control over their airplanes. It is a form of training that focuses on avoiding potentially hazardous situations in flight.

Advance UPRT FCL.745.A – Course Details:

• 2-3 days, 4 flights in (with option of last trip on Extra NG)
• 5 hours of TKI (Theoretical Knowledge Instruction)

Theoretical Knowledge – 5 hours

• Review of Academic UPRT requirements
• Case Study Review
• Detailed Review of High Altitude Operations
• Detailed Review of Human Factors and TEMs

On Aircraft Training – 4 flights (3 hours of UPRT)

• Steep and Maximum Rate Turns
• Slow Flight
• Stalling – Clean, power On and Off – Accelerated, Slipping, Skidding
• Upset Recovery – Nose High, Nose Low, High Bank angle / Overbank,  From manoeuvre,  Trim runaways,  ‘Startled’
• Spin – Incipient: Academic & from Manoeuvre
• Spiral Dive
• Wake Turbulence Recoveries​
• Flight with Control Restrictions

Advanced Qualification Program (AQP), are required to conduct UPRT beginning FAR part 121 air carrier from this requirement. Air carriers must include UPRT for pilots during:

• Initial training,
• Transition training,
• Differences and related aircraft differences training (if differences exist),
• Upgrade training,
• Requalification training (if applicable), and
• Recurrent training.

PHASE 6: Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC)

• Becoming proficient in multi-crew cooperation
• Learn how to be effective team leader and member
• Required (or is a significant advantage) before a job interview
• Conducted on CKAS 7DOF FNPT, FBS B737NG/A320 Simulator
• Standard or Advanced MCC Course
• High quality of education under CAAM, FOD FCL.735.A base on EASA standards

MCC: Multi-Crew Cooperation Training Course — Aeroplanes:

(a) The MCC training course shall comprise at least:

1. 1. 25 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction and exercises; and
   2. 20 hours of practical MCC training, or 15 hours in the case of student pilots attending an ATP integrated course.An FNPT II MCC or an FFS shall be used. When the MCC training is combined with initial type rating training, the practical MCC training may be reduced to no less than 10 hours if the same FFS is used for both the MCC and type rating training.

(b) The MCC training course shall be completed within 6 months at an ATO.

(c) Unless the MCC course has been combined with a type rating course, on completion of the MCC training course the applicant shall be given a certificate of completion.

(d) An applicant having completed MCC training for any other category of aircraft shall be exempted from the requirement in paragraph (a)(1).

SKILL TEST

Upon completion of the related flying training, the applicant shall take the CPL skill test on either a single-engine or a multi-engine aeroplane and the IR skill test on a multiengine aeroplane by CAAM.
