NEW DELHI: An Indian government panel has proposed a new pilot licence option that would shift more training into simulators and cut the time cadets spend flying real aircraft as it aims to ease a pilot shortage, a draft report shows.
The Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL) under discussion was introduced by the U.N.'s International Civil Aviation Organization in 2006 and adopted by many countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East in addition to traditional pilot-training pathways.
