Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) License

An Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) License is the highest certification for professional pilots, qualifying them to operate large commercial aircraft. It requires extensive training, experience (typically at least 1,500 flight hours), and successful completion of rigorous written and practical exams. The ATP license ensures pilots possess advanced skills in navigation, aviation safety, and decision-making necessary for airline operations. Holding this certification enables pilots to serve as captain or in command roles for airlines, ensuring they meet the strict standards needed to fly passenger or cargo aircraft safely and efficiently on scheduled flights worldwide.
