BRIDGE BETWEEN CPL AND ATPL
The Airline Preparation Course (APC) is a two-week full-time course providing the essential multi-crew cooperation (MCC) and crew resource management (CRM) training required by airlines. The skills you develop in this course will give you confidence going into your interview and sim evaluation.
MCC AND CRM
The course includes Stage 7 of the Integrated Airline Transport Pilot License (iATPL) syllabus covering a week of simulator training, learning and practicing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for a two-crew aircraft, and 5 days of ground school covering CRM background and several case studies.
COURSE GOALS
The ultimate goal of the APC course is for students to be able to successfully complete a simulator evaluation at an airline. This will be accomplished through ground school classes and simulator sessions.
GROUND SCHOOL
The five day ground school will cover CRM concepts including three accidents that are examples of lack of CRM practices, training and more. Roles of CA, FO, PF and PM, SOP calls and briefings will be discussed in detail.
SIMULATOR SESSIONS
There will be 5 sessions in the AL250 simulator. The first four will be approximately 6 hours in length. The fifth will be 5 hours. These times include pre and post briefings. The emphasis for all sessions will be on learning two crew procedures and memorizing abnormal procedures drills such as engine failure or fire.
THREAT AND ERROR MANAGEMENT
The overall theme of the program is threat and error management (TEM). In aviation safety, TEM is an overarching safety management approach that assumes that pilots will naturally make mistakes and encounter risky situations during flight operations.
Rather than try to avoid these threats and errors, its primary focus is on teaching pilots to manage these issues so they do not impair safety. Its goal is to maintain safety margins by training pilots and flight crews to detect and respond to events that are likely to cause damage (threats) as well as mistakes that are most likely to be made (errors) during flight operations.
COST AND SCHEDULE
The cost of the APC course is $6500 + HST. The course is scheduled as needed. Minimum 2 students per class (must be in pairs).

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF GLASS
A glass cockpit is an aircraft cockpit that features electronic (digital) instrument displays, typically large LCD screens, rather than the traditional style of analog dials and gauges. This simplifies aircraft operation and navigation and allows pilots to focus only on the most pertinent information.
Genesis features the most advanced aircraft in the region with the G1000 integrated flight management systems in our Diamond aircraft.
GLASS-PANEL COMPONENTS
G1000 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)
The primary flight display shows the basic flight instruments, such as the airspeed indicator, the altimeter, the heading indicator, and course deviation indicator. A small map called the “inset map” can be enabled in the corner. The buttons on the PFD are used to set the squawk code on the transponder. The PFD can also be used for entering and activating flight plans. The PFD also has a “reversionary mode” which is capable of displaying all information shown on the MFD (for example, engine gauges and navigational information). This capability is provided in case of an MFD failure.
G1000 MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD)
The MFD usually shows engine instrumentation and a moving map.
The multi-function display typically shows a moving map on the right side, and engine instrumentation on the left. Most of the other screens in the G1000 system are accessed by turning the knob on the lower right corner of the unit. Screens available from the MFD other than the map include the setup menus, information about nearest airports and NAVAIDs, Mode S traffic reports, terrain awareness, XM radio, flight plan programming, and GPS RAIM prediction.
