Our instructors’ schedule demands at this flight training center prevent us from accepting walk-in visitors. If you need to speak with one of our local CFIs, please call 800-ALL-ATPS (800-255-2877) and we will help you make an appointment.
Testimonials
“I wanted to let you know I completed training at Chautauqua and flew the 25 hours required for IOE. I found out very quickly how lucky I was to have gone through the Regional Jet Standards Certification (RJ Program) at ATP Jax Beach. Most people in my systems class were struggling to understand the material and keep up with the pace of the course...I on the other hand had a great understanding of these systems and could concentrate on the important details. We had a few seasoned pilots in our class...one a Jetstream 31 captain and one a TWA/American MD-80 pilot. To my complete surprise, they had a hard time due to completely new automation. We started sim lessons and, even though I was not flying the CRJ, I had an easy time adjusting my scan and reading the information presented on the CRT’s in front of me. At the same time my sim partner and other classmates spent 2-3 sim lessons just trying to figure out the flight director, the autopilot, and glass, while I had some time to concentrate on flows and other details. I cannot say that I was not nervous. We only had a total of 8 sims before the check ride. When it came to the check ride, I was more than nervous, but having gone through one similar in the CRJ with another check airman gave me an advantage. The check airman that gave me my ride failed 3 out of 4 people that he checked in my class. It was not an easy check ride, but I passed, thanks in no small part to the RJ Program. If it sounds like a sales pitch, well it should. I get frustrated when I hear that people do not reach their dreams and goals because of a flight school letting them down. I have always supported and thought the best of ATP's Airline Career Pilot Program, now I am completely behind the RJ Program. Everyone in my class I spoke with said in one way or another that they wished they had gone to ATP. If not for the Career Pilot Program–then the Flight Instructors, if not that, then at least the RJ & FMS Orientation. There were people that spent almost $100,000 through other flight schools to be in the same place I was for much less. I cannot express enough how thankful I am to ATP.”
