Further courses are built on it: Yes/No
Number of teaching hours/week (lecture + practice): 2+3
Topics:
The course teaches the basic knowledge of Multi-crew cooperation according to FCL.735.A; AMC1 FCL.930.MCCI
The course covers the following main areas and give thorough information on:
Displays, practical examples for softwares, hardware, environment, malfunctions in crew cooperation, leadership; tasks and privileges, cultural elements, pf and pm tasks, professional quality, responsible crew cooperation, personal characteristics, attitude and devotion: attention, conflict solving skill, intervention, effective and clear communication in flight, crew cooperation procedures, use of checklists
By conducting the course the student will have the knowledge recommended by the EU legislation FCL.735.A and AMC1 FCL.930.MCCI will understand the complex requirements of multi crew cooperation with it’s compulsory set of operational and human skills.

Requirements
A, for a signature:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, but not compulsory. Participation at practice classes is compulsory. A student must attend the practice classes and may not miss more than three times during the semester. In case a student does so, the subject will not be signed and the student must repeat the course. A student can’t make up any practice with another group. Attendance at practice classes will be recorded by the practice leader. Being late is equivalent with an absence. In case of further absences, a medical certificate needs to be presented. Missed practice classes should be made up for at a later date, to be discussed with the tutor.
B, for grade:
The course ends in mid-semester grade based on the assessment of the instructor.
