ATP Flight School accepted delivery of eight new Garmin G-1000 NXi-equipped Cessna 172 Skyhawks from Textron Aviation during the week of September 1. This brings the number of training aircraft at ATP to more than 410 around the world. ATP said in a news release that its expansion is still being driven by the long-term demand for airline pilots despite the current COVID-19 pandemic. “As the industry recovers, current projections estimate that future demand for qualified pilots exceeds the industry’s existing capabilities—a deficiency ATP is solving with the investment in new training aircraft, expanded locations, and access to historically low rates for financing career training.” The ATP fleet flies nearly 30,000 flight hours each month from some 50 different locations.
