VA Airline Training (VA) and Ultimate High Academy (UHA) have formed a Training Alliance and developed a new joint Multi-pilot Aircraft (MPA) ‘Airline Ready’ programme. Trainees completing Airline Pilot Standards (APS) MCC courses with Cambridge Airport-based VA, will progress seamlessly onto an ‘Advanced’ Multi-Pilot Aircraft (MPA) Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) course with UHA at Goodwood Airport (UK).
The new, jointly designed programme builds a continuum of multi-pilot competencies for ab initio (newly qualified) pilots prior to commencing their first aircraft type rating training with an airline partner.
EASA competency based MPA training has evolved significantly in recent years. The APS MCC training was pioneered by VA in the UK in April 2018, with Advanced on-aircraft UPRT being pioneered by UHA for launch in December 2019. The jointly delivered MPA APS MCC and UPRT programme is yet another pioneering move; which will be delivered through an inaugural airline sponsored programme within days of the new EASA Regulations going live
