About the Flight Time Requirements

Many students have a Private Pilot Certificate, but have less than 85 hours total time and 25 hours cross-country PIC time required to enter the Airline Career Pilot Program. Depending on schedule and aircraft availability, ATP may be able to provide a customized program for students to attain these minimum requirements in GPS-equipped Cessna 172s.
