There was a great experience! Thanks a lot for all especially for Andrey, very friendly and professional. I made ATPL test there, ATPL multi engine type and took relaxation flight around Florida, perfect!
Purpose of the ATP-CTP Course
On August 1, 2010, President Obama signed a bill that introduced the ATP-CTP training course. This course was designed to bridge the knowledge gap between the level of a 250-hour commercial pilot and a 1500-hour airline pilot. This knowledge gap in aviation education has proven fatal, such as the Colgan Air disaster near Buffalo in 2009. This accident sparked the FAA to mandate changes in the requirements for airline pilots. In January 2014, all United States carriers began to hire pilots with a minimum flight time of 1500 hours. These new hires were also required to hold a multi-engine airline pilot certificate, as well as having the ATP-CTP course successfully completed.
The ATP-CTP course is a mandatory pre-requisite in order to take the ATP written exam. This requirement only applies to multi-engine pilots. The ATP-CTP course is not required if obtaining the ATP Single Engine Certificate. Pilots that are ATP rated in foreign countries still need to complete the entire course and follow the syllabus, which is strictly regulated by the FAA under AC 61-138.
The cost of the written test is NOT included in our price, this is a separate provider (CATS) but we have a testing facility at our premises. You should schedule your written test using special website: https://faa.psiexams.com/faa/login. Create the account and follow instructions.
This course gives a commercial multi-engine pilot, who is used to flying a small airplanes or light twins, the opportunity to train to fly a passenger airliner, and potentially work for a major carrier part 121 or air operator part 135.

What our customers say
Tapor Kuhz Great experience!
I joined SkyEagle for the ATP CTP course, I had a great experience. Cris and Dave were great and very attentive to the needs of their clients. Cris, has some of the best costumer service. If you email or call him he gets back to ASAP. Dave the instructor of the course, was great! One of the best instructors I’ve had in a long time, he’s a dying breed, you just don’t find them like him anymore. With his vast experience and knowledge of aviation, plus his amazing personality. He was able to deliver information to you in a way that doesn’t put you to sleep. Dave’s a great instructor in and out of the sim.
I would recommend SkyEagle to anyone looking to breeze through this course and actually enjoy it.
Lawrie B. I would recommend SkyEagle to anyone
Great learning experience for ATP prep, and for aviation knowledge building in general. Dave D brings his decades of diverse experience to classroom and SIM lessons, and Cris F seamlessly organizes the logistics. Together, they’ve produced a great program. Highly recommend, especially with their A320 SIM incorporated.
Jay Baker
I attended their ATP CTP course. David DeAngelo was our instructor. His real world experience and his common sense approach to the material provided a great learning experience. In addition, Cris was very helpful answering all my questions leading up and during the class.
Jay Barnes
Did my ATP CTP Course at SkyEagle Aviation Academy and my experience was terrific. Dave DeAngelo (Ground and Sim Instructor) is very knowledgable and made the training very enjoyable and definitely learned a lot from him. Great staff and great facilities. Strongly recommend it.
Kenny S.
I attended ATP-CTP at Skyeagle and received great instruction both in ground and in the sim which is an Airbus. Very much worth the money spent!
William Stiles
They work so hard to accommodate your schedule. The talented instructors are first class. I attended the ATP/CTP course. I would recommend this to anyone, they have full access to the most modern advanced simulator in the country.
Robi Jamesweathers
I completed the ATP-CTP course with SkyEagle in Jan/Feb 2020 and had a great time! The guys were extremely helpful and whenever I had any questions, they responded immediately. I would definitely recommend SkyEagle to anyone looking to do the ATP-CTP course!
Renier Kuhn, South Africa
As I fly an airline jet on a Part 121 carrier here in Brazil, the training doesn’t bring anything really new to me. Even our regulations in Brazil are really similar to the ones in the US. Still, what I really liked about the training was having both David and Musa as instructors. They have different styles and specifics they like to emphasize more, which is great. The experience they have to share is the most valuable asset for every pilot in class. For those who are not familiar with the airline world, the courseware is in great size and well structured. Oh, and by the way, Sheppard Air is the best recommendation. I got 88% on the FAA Written and I didn’t even study that much.
