MCC (Multi-Crew Cooperation) training prepares pilots for airline operations by teaching communication, shared responsibilities, and teamwork in a multi-crew cockpit. It is a mandatory prerequisite for any Type Rating and is often delivered alongside Jet Orientation Training.

A Type Rating is a specialized certification allowing pilots to operate specific aircraft types like the A320 or B737. FlyIAA's Type Rating Center in Sharjah offers training on five aircraft, bridging your training with your airline career.
