Overview
In Multi Crew Cooperation you will learn how to operate as part of a small team and how to lead a flight crew as pilot-in-command or co-pilot on a modern-day flight deck. You will develop the skills and behaviours required to plan, direct and control all aspects of a multi-crew flight. Good and poor multi-crew cooperation will be evaluated and contrasted. You will also evaluate flight deck environmental elements and events. There are two practical assessments during the MCC training to assess student progress during the training and one Self Assessment at the end of the term.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Prior to your completion of the MCC training in this unit, you must review the two Pre-MCC lectures posted to Moodle.
You must also nominate which week you wish to undertake the practical simulation through the relevant Moodle portal.
1 Practical Assessment
This is a pre-simulator written assessment that requires students to describe the multi-crew aspects of an aviation accident.
This assignment must be submitted to Aviation Australia and uploaded to the relevant Moodle portal 14 days prior to your scheduled simulator week.
This assignment will be assessed by CQU for academic integrity / plagiarism review, and the content will be assessed by Aviation Australia.
- Plan, direct and control all aspects of a multi-crew flight as pilot in command, or co-pilot
- Lead and command in a multi-crew situation
- Evaluate environmental elements and events
2 Practical Assessment
This is the practical assessment in the 737 simulator to measure understanding of the MCC learning outcomes.
Assessed during your week in the simulator
Your performance in the simulator will be measured against CASA competencies that must be demonstrated for the issuance of an MCC certificate.
- Plan, direct and control all aspects of a multi-crew flight as pilot in command, or co-pilot
- Evaluate environmental elements and events
- Evaluate critically crew resource management issues
- Contrast good and poor multi-crew cooperation scenarios.
3 Reflective Practice Assignment
Reflective journal on the student learning experience in relation to the Human Factors development from working in a team environment relevant to the MCC learning outcomes.
Week 12 Friday (31 May 2024) 11:59 pm AEST
Your reflective journal will be evaluated based on the depth of your discussion about your learning experience and the extent to which you are able to identify relevant Human Factors considerations.
- Evaluate environmental elements and events
- Evaluate critically crew resource management issues
- Contrast good and poor multi-crew cooperation scenarios.
As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
