Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
The ATP certificate is the highest level issued by the FAA. It requires a total of 1,200 hours of flight time. Some employers require the ATP for their more senior pilots and also to fly their bigger helicopters.
Many employers offer their pilots a bonus if the pilot has an ATP certificate.
FAA requirements for an ATP are:
1,200 hours total time
500 hours cross country
100 hours at night (15 must be in a helicopter)
200 hours in helicopters (75 hours Pilot-in-Command)
75 hours actual or simulated Instrument (50 must be in an aircraft; of those 25 must be in a helicopter) |

The following numbers are based on the average amount of time it takes our students to complete their ATP certificate. This is just to give you an idea of costs - your costs may vary based on your instrument proficiency levels.
