The Airline Transport Pilot Certificate Course
will consist of intensive Ground Instruction in the areas of Aircraft
Systems, Regulations and the operational aspects of the ATC system.
Flight instruction will be concentrated on the pilot's ability to
fly the certification aircraft under Instrument Flight Rules within
the parameters stated in the FAA Practical Test Standards for the
ATP certificate.
The ATP licence is important to the commercial airplane pilot simply
because the vast majority of airlines and scheduled air-taxi operators
require an ATP licence.
The following summary is based on an applicant with current Instrument
flying skills in a Multi-Engine aircraft and well developed understanding
of the course material required for this certificate. Applicants
who need remedial training in the subject matters may require more
training time. |
