Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
10-Hour Program
4 Days $2,795
$2,845 at FLL / Effective June 1 – $3,095 at ISP
“ALL ATPS” says it all. Since 1984, we have provided more ATP Certifications and ATP Written Preps & Exams than any other flight school in the country.
This four day course includes all ground instruction, up to 8.0 to 8.5 hours of flight training and checkride preparation, and use of the aircraft for the checkride.
This 10-hour program is catered to pilots who do not have the level of instrument proficiency and/or multi-engine experience required for the 2-day accelerated program. At most flight training centers we offer the ATP 2-day program for pilots who meet the required level of proficiency.
For pilots who do not yet have their ATP written, but otherwise meet the ATP Certificate prerequisites, we offer a ATP Written & Certificate (10-Hour) combined program that includes the ATP Written at a discount.

Training & Refund Policy
Flight times are approximate. You will receive flight training from 8.0 to 8.5 hours, giving you approximately 10 hours once you complete the flight check. ATP allocates 1.5 to 2.0 hours for the flight check due to varying flight check times.
ATP’s training is provided as a complete program and not provided as training at an hourly “rate.”
If your program must be discontinued before you complete the flight check, you will be charged $350/Hr. Multi-Engine, $125/Hr. FTD, and $30/Hr. Ground School. The remaining balance will be refunded.
In the unlikely event that you fail the flight check, you may obtain extra training as a one-hour-block program for $300. This will include flight training from 0.9 to 1.3 hours, ground school, pre- and post-flight briefings, and the use of the aircraft for the re-check (Examiner's fee is separate, and still applies).
ATP makes every effort to successfully complete your flight program within the allocated flight time. We have become the number one multi-engine flight training company by consistently achieving this goal.
Testimonials
“I recently took your ATP 10 hour program at the Arlington, TX facility. My experience with ATP and your instructor specifically left me with a great feeling of accomplishment. I worked for short while on a CFI certificate, just enough to have covered some of the fundamentals of learning. I'm pleased to report that your instructor exemplified all of the traits that make a good CFI. He was patient when I needed it, he was firm when I deserved it.
I was a very rusty instrument pilot who had come to rely on my autopilot far too much, and even though I needed every minute of the 10 hour program to get my skills up to par, your instructor was always doing the right things to encourage me on and to pick me up when I thought I couldn't make the grade. He went out of his way to give me extra ground school time to make sure I was prepared.
I came away with not only my ATP certificate, but a greater feeling of instrument flying proficiency than I have ever had.”
