Airline-Style, Dispatched Cross-Country Flying
ATP is the leader in multi-engine training and has been for over 25 years. ATP’s quality instructional methods will have you flying as pilot-in-command, nationwide, in an airline-style environment, in $500,000 aircraft. This nationwide flying requires a level of currency, proficiency, and standardization that defines ATP’s excellence in multi-engine flight training.
ATP conducts flights using FAA-standard cockpit resource management and crew-concept techniques. True nationwide cross-country flying in high-density traffic areas requires these techniques to meet the workload requirement of checklists, ATC communication, flight routing, and weather.
All cross-country flights are operated in an FAR 121 airline-style environment. Flights will be scheduled to selected ATP Training Centers nationwide and will be conducted with flight releases from licensed Flight Dispatchers to assist with weather, routing, and performance reviews.
The Airline Career Pilot Program provides a thorough understanding of airline operational procedures, crew resource management, GPS navigation and approaches, and nationwide cross-country experience.
Cross-Country Flying
During the cross-country phase of the Airline Career Pilot Program, you will typically fly trips to locations about 350 NM from the base training center. You may have an opportunity to fly coast-to-coast cross-country flights if your schedule permits approximately 10 consecutive days to make the trip out and back, and allow for weather contingencies. All ATP flights nationwide are dispatched and monitored around-the-clock by licensed Flight Dispatchers.
