Restricted Airline Transport Pilot License For Veteran

Restricted Airline Transportation Pilot R-ATP for Military Veteran who are looking to be competitive and enter the airlines faster, at a lower minimum total time than others. By going through an R-ATP program, one can go to a Regional Airline at 1,000 or 1,250 hours rather than the standard 1,500 requirement.

What is a Restricted Airline Transportation Pilot R-ATP

The FAA authorizes institutions of higher education to certify graduates of specific aviation degree programs for a restricted privileges ATP certificate with reduced aeronautical experience. This authority is distinct from the ATP CTP and allows for pilots with fewer than 1,500 hours of flight time to obtain a restricted privileges ATP certificate. A restricted privileges ATP certificate allows a pilot to serve as a co-pilot until he or she obtains the necessary 1,500 hours.
