Program Information
The Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program (ATP CTP) fulfills the academic and flight training requirements of 14 CFR §61.156. Upon successful completion of the ATP CTP, and once all other requirements have been met, the candidate will be eligible to take the FAA Airline Transport Pilot Multiengine Airplane knowledge test.
Academic training bridges the gap between the knowledge of the commercial pilot and that which is expected of an ATP certificate holder, specifically in the areas of aerodynamics, meteorology, air carrier operations, leadership, and safety culture in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 61-138 Change 1. The knowledge acquired in ground training will be reinforced through ten hours of flight training where the candidate will gain experience in the concepts required for large transport category aircraft operations. These concepts include runway safety, high altitude operations, upset prevention and recovery, and automation.
Prerequisites Pilots must possess a valid Commercial Pilot Certificate, Airplane Category – Multi-Engine and Instrument Rating or equivalent foreign license recognized by ICAO.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Requirements According to the final rule of 49 CFR Part 1552, effective July 30, 2024, TSA notification and clearance is not required for non-US citizens in order to complete this course.
