OVERVIEW

Alpha Aviation Group was an early adaptor and pioneer in its role in the global development, training and activation of the Multi-Crew Pilots License (MPL).

The MPL was introduced in 2006 by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). At its very core, it develops the abilities needed to fly in a multi-crew airline environment. Compared to the more traditional Commercial Pilot License, it takes advantage of flight simulators, adopts competency-based training methods and applies human factors with threat and error management. It also makes use of the key principles of Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Upset Prevention and Recovery Training.

For many airlines and aviation service providers, the MPL is the future of flight training and represents the most efficient and cost-effective method to train the next generation of pilots.
