AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT LICENSE – ATP(A)

The purpose of the Airline Transport Pilot License ATP(A) course is to train airplane pilots to the level of proficiency necessary to fly passengers within commercial airline flight standards.

Significant aeronautical experience is necessary for an ATP certificate — a minimum of 1,500 hours of total flight time under 14 CFR 61.159, including at least 500 hours of cross-country flight, 100 hours of night flight, 75 hours of instrument time, and 250 hours of pilot-in-command time (reduced-hour pathways as low as 1,000–1,250 hours may be available to military-trained pilots and graduates of an FAA-approved aviation degree program). There is no flight-training hour minimum built into the ATP course itself, and no flight instructor endorsement is required for an ATP check ride. Nevertheless, no pilot should go into a check ride without being completely prepared.

At Anthelion, any of our Instrument Instructors can help you knock the rust off your instrument skills and help you prepare for the Airline Transport Pilot License ATP(A) check ride.

TESTIMONIAL

“I heard about Anthelion Helicopters from a Colleague of mine who works at a different Base. I did a review of the School from their Website and found that they had a procedures Trainer(Simulator) which came in handy and saved some cost when we arrived at Long Beach. Both flying and non-flying staff were professional and friendly. Most Importantly, the CEO, Alex Chaunt was personally interested in our progress.

I shall remain indebted to Anthelion Helicopters for ensuring that I passed my ATPL Check-ride within the limited time I had allotted for the Course and Check-ride.

Thanks, Alex, Nina, Lauren, Brandin, Sheamus, Travis, Tom, and Diana. Keep up the good work!”
