Sporty’s has partnered with ABX Airlines in Wilmington, Ohio, to offer a program that complies with the recently implemented training requirements for the FAA airline transport pilot knowledge exam.
Under the new rules, which were implemented August 1 (despite a stellar track record of safety for ATP-rated pilots) ATP candidates must complete an FAA-approved ATP-Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP) consisting of a minimum of 30 hours of academic instruction and 10 hours of simulator training, six of which must be completed in a full-motion Level C simulator or higher. Upon completion of the training, ATP applicants will qualify to take the FAA knowledge test, which is a requirement for the multi-engine ATP rating.
