Airline Transport Pilot

Master your trade!

 

The Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) is considered by many to be the ultimate aviation achievement, and rightly so! An ATP is expected to demonstrate mastery of an aircraft to a degree which exceeds even the commercial pilot, but without being able to see outside the aircraft. The ATP certificate is essentially a “professional instrument rating”.

At Premier Flight Center, many of our instructors have earned their ATP certificate, and they have experience working with other pilots in pursuit of this elite certificate.
