Airline Transport Pilot (ATP)

Are you a commercially licensed pilot with more than 1,500 hours of total flight experience?  Do you have your heart set on a career flying for the airlines or commanding corporate aircraft?  If so, you are a candidate for the PhD of Aviation: the Airline Transport Pilot Certificate.  In order to act as captain on aircraft operated under CFR Part 121 (airlines), you must have the ATP certificate.  While not required by law, most corporate flight departments expect that their captains have an ATP.  While the ATP is offered in most classes of aircraft, it is customary to get your ATP in multi-engine aircraft as that is what most airlines and corporate flight departments operate.

Our most experienced instructors will work with you to ensure that your aeronautical knowledge and flight skills meet ATP standards.  Crew Resource Management (CRM) is so critical to safe aircraft operation, that AirQuest Aviation incorporates it into our basic procedures and emphasizes it in the ATP training.
