MCC (Multi Crew Coordination) is the last part of the training ... We learn how to work with two pilots in the cockpit. It's not as simple as it might seem at first !
First of all, it's a much more complex aircraft than the ones we trained on previously : Super King Air 200 ; and it's a lot of work to learn new procedures and actions for that new plane in a small amount of time.
Secondly, we have been trained all along as mono-pilot ; Dispatching tasks in the cockpit and constantly checking the PF or PNF (Pilot Flying or Pilot Non Flying... i.e pilot or co-pilot) actions, all of a sudden, requires some time and training ...
I finished that training on March 16th, but my former flight partner finished it yesterday, so I went "backseating" the sim to shot some pictures.
The ones with the O2 mask on and googles are quite funny, we really looked like some nuclear specialists wandering in tchernobyl rubbles ... :-)
Enjoy the show !
