Oscar Yankee Expands MCC Training Functions in OY Wings

Europe – Aviation software developer and flight school management solution provider Oscar Yankee has expanded the Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) training functions in its OY Wings flight training management platform, introducing two-student lesson workflows, role-specific grading and automated course-completion tracking. The update gives approved training organisations a dedicated system for documenting crew performance and reducing administrative duplication during simulator-based MCC training.

• OY Wings allows two students undertaking the same MCC session to be managed together across planning, scheduling, grading and reporting, rather than creating separate lesson workflows for each trainee.
• Instructors can assess both students side by side while they perform Pilot Flying and Pilot Monitoring duties, then switch the assigned roles within the same lesson. The platform creates a separate competency record for each student in both roles without requiring duplicate lesson entries.
• Individual report cards separate each student’s Pilot Flying and Pilot Monitoring performance while also displaying overall course progress and historical assessment results.
• The MCC module integrates with OY Wings’ Competency-Based Training and Assessment and Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes functions. Assessment areas identified by Oscar Yankee include communication, leadership, workload management, situational awareness, decision-making and teamwork.
• The platform monitors whether required learning objectives have been completed successfully in both crew roles before a course is signed off. It also supports training-hour monitoring, independent assessment records and certificate generation.
• Oscar Yankee states that the side-by-side workflow is intended to reduce the administrative workload associated with grading two students simultaneously while retaining separate and auditable records for each trainee.
• EASA’s MCC framework is intended to develop the technical and non-technical knowledge, skills and attitudes required to operate multi-crew aircraft. The framework covers competencies including communication, leadership, teamwork, workload management, problem-solving and situational awareness.
• EASA introduced Airline Pilot Standards MCC as an alternative to the conventional MCC course in 2017, providing an additional bridge between initial pilot licensing and airline type-rating training.
