ATP Written & Certificate
10-Hour Program
5 Days $3,995
$4,045 at FLL
“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 five day course includes the computerized ATP written prep & exam, 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 3-day accellerated program. At most flight training centers we offer the ATP Written & Certificate (3-Day) program for pilots who meet the required level of proficiency.

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 $400 per hour of flight training, and the remaining balance will be refunded. You will not be charged for any training materials or ground school you receive.
In the unlikely event that you fail the flight check, you may obtain extra training as a one-hour-block program for $375. 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.
