We shape your plan to your background, schedule, and the credential you're after — virtual, in-person, or in the simulator.
Full-motion simulators
Training happens on Level D full-flight simulators — airline-category fidelity, not desktop trainers.
Instructors who have flown the line
Our instructors hold the ratings they teach and have logged real airline time.
Prerequisites and cost, up front
You'll know what you need and what it costs before you enroll. No fine-print surprises.
ATP-CTP in six days.
31 hours of ground and 10 hours in the simulator — 4 in the FTD, 6 in the full-flight simulator — to satisfy the 14 CFR 61.156 requirement before your ATP knowledge test.
