The Airline
Transport Pilot certificate is the highest level issued by the FAA.
It can only be obtained after 1,200 hours of total flight time.
It is required by the FAA and some employers to fly some of the
biggest helicopters around. A good example is PHI requires the
ATP certificate to fly as Pilot-in-Command of their Sikorsky S-92
heavy transport helicopters.
Many employers
offer a bonus to pilots who have the ATP certificate, the average
being $1,200 a year additional pay ($100/month).
The prerequisites
for the ATP are:
1,200 hours total
time
500 hours cross country
100 hours at night (15 of those must be in a helicopter)
200 hours in helicopters (75 hours Pilot-in-Command)
75 hours actual or simulated instrument (50 hours must be in an
aircraft, of those 25 must be in a helicopter)
We offer two ways to
obtain this certificate, you can use the Schweizer 300CBi or the
Robinson R-44 Raven II.
