ATP Cert in Great Lakes Region

[CopilotDoug]

I'm looking to do my ATP ride in as cheaply as possible. All ATPS at ARR only offers the 4 day program at ARR, which is $1,000 more expensive than the 2 day program they don't offer.

So, that being said, I am willing to take a small road trip and spend a night or two in a hotel if it saves me upwards of $500.

Anybody now of some in and out ATP places around Peoria, Rockford, Moline, Milwaukee, Madison, or Gary? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Never flew the Duchess there, but I did some flying there and it was a pretty good place, nice people. The instructor I had while I was there has since left, but I don't think it would be a bad choice.

I did the ATP thing there in the Duchess. Thats the place to go if my old instructor is still there. I dont remember his name right off the bat but I could find out. Duchess is such an easy plane to fly I felt like I was cheating on something. Worth every penny even if it is a little out of the way for you.

Thanks for the advice guys, I am going with ALL ATPs because of wx considerations. I don't want to get down to STL and have 2 or 3 wx days in a row. I'm at the point where I just need to suck it up and get it done.
