Fsi Atp

[Captainzero1]

If you do a ATP with FSI for a 135 company, is it a fed ride?

I believe so. The guy who is going through recurrent sim with me is an instructor at FSI and he has to have a D.E. give him his stuff and is checking boxes off while in the sim.

I'm in for 91 recurrent and the other guy is a specific 135 ride.TC

A Type Rating and 135 PIC checkride are equivalent to an ATP checkride, and should be given by an FSI DE. If your question is will the ride be given by a FED from the local FSDO, then I think the answer is no.

However, it is always possible that a FED from the local FSDO may sit in the sim during your ride, they have that prerogative. While they would be there to observe the ride, they are not really there to check you, they are there to check the DE and FSI and make sure FSI is conducting the ride according to the rules and the way FSI says that it will.

All in all, why would it really matter if the ride is given by a FED or a DE? It is a checkride and it needs to be done to certain standards. Those standards are the same regardless, whether the ride is given by a FED or a DE. If your answer is that a DE will let you slide an small goof ups, then you would be surprised. I've taken checkrides with DE's that were tougher than I expected and I've taken checkrides with FED's that I thought were to easy. If you're prepared for the ride it shouldn't be a factor who gives you the ride.

Just finished a CE500 type at FSI (with an ATP ride at the same time) under part 135 rules. The examiner was a FSI instructor who was also a DE. I do agree with HS125 though, the local FSDO always has the option to ride along and evaluate FSI.

I did my ATP and Astra type ride together at FSI. WAY easier than if I'd done it with the Feds at my old FSDO.

Ditto for me... Best way to get your ATP hammered out. The Feds don't have to sit in on it either and it doesn't matter if it's 135 or not.

They (the Feds) may sit in on the ride if they wish...
