MCC and APS MCC, Crewed and Graded
MCC is the first course where the unit of training is a crew rather than a student. That single fact breaks scheduling models built around one student and one instructor, and it is where most systems start needing spreadsheets alongside them.

The Challenges You Face
MCC and its enhanced APS MCC variant sit between licence training and the airline, and they schedule differently from everything on either side.
The Unit of Training Is a Pair
Students are crewed, and the pairing has to hold across sessions while both students progress. A system that books one student against one instructor and one device cannot express that without somebody maintaining the pairings separately.
Simulator Time Is the Bottleneck
MCC is delivered almost entirely in a flight simulation training device. Course throughput is device hours, and a cancelled session cannot simply be moved — it has to be moved for two students and an instructor at once.
Competencies, Not Just Hours
The point of MCC is cooperation: task sharing, cross-checking, communication and decision-making as a crew. Recording hours flown says nothing about whether those competencies were demonstrated, which is precisely what an APS MCC is supposed to evidence.
APS MCC Raises the Bar
The airline pilot standard variant carries additional content and a higher assessment standard than a basic MCC. An organisation delivering both needs them to be genuinely different courses in the system, not one course with a different label.
How Aviatize Solves This
Course and record management for multi-crew cooperation and airline pilot standard MCC. Pair students into crews, schedule the simulator around them, and grade the competencies that actually distinguish an APS MCC from a basic one.
Crews as First-Class Bookings
Sessions are booked with both students and the instructor against the device, so a crew is scheduled as a unit and conflict detection covers everyone in it rather than one student at a time.
Two Distinct Course Structures
MCC and APS MCC are configured as separate syllabi with their own events and assessment standards, so what a student completed is unambiguous on their record years later.
Competency-Based Grading
Configurable grading methods support competency assessment rather than hour-counting, so cooperation, task sharing and decision-making can be graded as the course actually intends.
Device Utilisation You Can See
Because sessions are bookings against the device, utilisation and cancellation patterns are reportable — which matters when the simulator is both the constraint on throughput and the largest fixed cost behind the course.
Deferred and Repeated Sessions
Sessions that cannot be completed are deferred and repeated within the course rather than being lost or handled by hand, so a crew that lost a session to a technical failure still has a coherent record.
Progress Per Student Within the Crew
Students are crewed for delivery but assessed individually, so progress and grading stay attached to the person even when the session was flown as a pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. A session is booked with both students and the instructor against the simulator, so the crew is scheduled as a unit and conflict detection covers every participant rather than one student at a time.
Yes. They are configured as separate syllabi with their own events and assessment standards, which keeps a student's record unambiguous about which standard they actually completed.
Grading methods are configurable and support competency-based assessment, so task sharing, cross-checking, communication and decision-making can be graded as competencies instead of being reduced to hours flown.
Sessions can be deferred and repeated within the course, so a crew that loses a session to a technical failure or a cancellation keeps a coherent record and the outstanding item stays visible until it is completed.
