At the pinnacle of professional aviation proficiency is the Airline Transport Pilot certificate (ATP). As an ATP, you must be at least 23 years old and have completed a minimum of 1,500 hours of flight time. Most ATP’s have several thousand hours of flight time. ATP’s must also possess an instrument rating and a commercial certificate.
ATP’s can hold a Class I medical, which requires renewal every six months, or a class II which requires renewal every year. Revalidation of certificates must be every 24 months via a flight review. Due to recent changes by the FAA, all ATP candidates must take a separate training course for ATP with simulator training. We still offer the Test here at Eagle. We would be happy to talk with you about how to complete your ATP.
