Self-Paced Schedule Considerations
Self-paced students must dedicate at least ten days per month to your training. CFI Training will require approximately 14 consecutive days in Atlanta, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, or Las Vegas. ATP provides housing and air transportation to the CFI Training Center. You are responsible for your own local ground transportation.
In California, ATP conducts all Private Pilot training on the Fast Track timeline for improved flight proficiency and currency around California's challenging airspace, terrain and weather. Students who prefer the self-paced timeline can adopt that schedule after attaining their Private Pilot Certificate.
Fixed Cost Pricing Notes
Price and flight times are subject to change, but not during your training program. ATP reserves the right to impose a fuel surcharge under certain circumstances. Examiners’ fees of approximately $3,500 ($4,000 from zero time) are not included. Logged flight times may vary slightly due to flight check times and other considerations.
Higher Cost in California & New York
Due to higher operating costs, California and New York pricing is higher:
- Fast Track from Private & 85 Hours: $53,995
- Self-Paced from Private & 85 Hours: $58,995
- Fast Track From Zero Time: $64,990
- Self-Paced From Zero Time: $70,990
California and New York housing is at a rate of $225 per week.

Testimonials
“Throughout my training I was both challenged and guided into being a professional pilot. Starting from a private pilot and then finally evolving into a CFI was a great feeling of empowerment. I knew that ATP was my choice of flight schools since it was recommended to me by fellow students of yours who are now successful Gulfstream pilots, for a major charter company. My cross country experience flew me into the airports of Jacksonville, Atlanta, Trenton, Richmond, Tennessee, and many others. With the proper skills from ATP I was able to fly with confidence. I will recommend the ATP program to aspiring pilots of any level who want to get there ratings and receive the best training available. ”
