Atp??

[CFIIer]

This may have been asked in the past, but if you are doing a checkride in a military aircraft like a C-17 or even in the SIM, what would it take to get the ATP done at the same time, or is that even possible?

thanks

It would have to be with a designated FAA person in an aircraft with a civilian equivalent. C-17 would not work. It would also depend on the sim category. Don't quote me on this but this is what I remember/interpret/think/guess/etc.
Call the FAA at you local area airport.

Fly C-12s for your getting out shore tour, get the ATP via a FAA DPE (civilian guy), pay the $300 bucks (approx). That's a good deal. If your unit doesn't support getting the ATP, talk with your skipper (CO), and have it written in your standardization notes, or SOP. It helps if you're the NATOPS (standardization) instuctor pilot, or if you are friends with that guy, and have him do it. You can cite that getting the ATP is a high professional standard that the transport pilots at your command can strive for. You can even bring in a copy of the little green ASA ATP practical test standards to show him the required deviation standards for the practical test or checkride. There are quite a few DPEs for king airs out there, since they are a very common business aircraft.

Oh, FAA examiners = painful (for the most part, there are exceptions out there, tell me when you find them--please).
