ATP Written

[Ralgha]

I just took it. If you know how to read/use the charts and graphs, you should be able to solve the problem and get the correct answer. If you can't, then you need to work on your basic skills.

Do the 121. I know it says in the ASA preps you can get any airplane but I never got one 135 plane. The 135 from what I remember has dreadful BE 19 charts. I called ATP and asked about the written, they do it in a day or something like that and then into the test. My conclusion was that there was no way they could possibly be doing all planes, just the 121. So that's what I did using the ASA prep. Got a 93% (now having said that I did one heck of a lot of study)

I've got ATP questions. If someone would take the time to answer them, I would greatly appreciate it.

What are the qualifications to be able to take the written portion?
When are you required to have an ATP?
When you go up for your ATP, what aircraft do you fly? If any?
How many different versions of the ATP are there, and which one is the easiest?


I would greatly appreciate it if someone would help me understand the ATP better.

Thank you!

1. I believe there really aren't any qualifications. Now, it is only good for 2 years, unless you work 135,121, etc, so I wouldn't take it unless I was within 2 years of taking the checkride.

2. You are required to have an ATP to act as PIC in 121 operations and certain 135 passenger carrying operations.

3. Any airplane you want. If you do the SEL before the MEL you need a complex single engine airplane....but who really gets an ATP Single Engine???

4. There's several, 135, 121, Dispatcher......(I may have left one or two out). I took the 135, cuz thats what was fresh in my head. Point is, take the one you've been studying for!

Hope this helps.

Ref #3 above: Me! I have an ATP-SELS. But then I'm a dang furriner & have ATPLs from other countries as well as an FAA ATP-MEL so felt more comfortable doing approaches than doing those unique FAA CPL manoeuvres.
