Hey! Great information! For the part where you said (VH) means Very High VOR, this is not necessarily true. The “V” in VH just means VOR High with the new service volumes. The new service volumes are still classified as low or high but the V is now added just to differentiate whether it is a new service volume VOR or not. the second H in the other parenthesis as it says (VH)(H) is the DME service volume. If a facility has the new DME service volumes as well it would then be listed as (VH)(DH). In this case the D simply means DME but it is the new DME service volume. Since this one in the video does not have the DH, we know the service volume is the old DME High service volume as the facility has not yet been upgraded. Great video and review!

12% interest on a loan for flight school is absolutely insane! ATP is already expensive, and adding such a high interest rate feels like a scam.

What flight simulator is he talking about?

Hi! I’ve been considering going to ATP school, but after watching your video, I’m starting to rethink my decision. I’m based in LA-do you have any recommendations for other pilot schools in the area? I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks!

Which ATP did you attend?

WE NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS thank you

Hey, question. Did you also go to college? Or you did ATP straight out of HS?

I'm confused, the gps says LNAV, but is on VLOC? The OBS is on 180 but you're heading 090? What approach are you guys doing and what guidance were yall following?

You spoke nothing but fax 🔥🔥🔥🔥

So it not easy to get a contract with an airline after graduating ?

It is really helpful~ . I have a question. Is check ride something that an average student should be worried about? I heard that ATP forces unprepared students to check ride. That's why I heard that the failure rate is high.

Trying not to be critical, but you started by saying you'd explain everything, and missed a lot. You need to add and correct things that are very important... - What's the stuff under WAAS in the upper left box (CH70729 etc)? - What's A5 in the lighting section mean? - IF = Intermediate Fix. IAF = Initial Approach Fix. Different things, but this point can be used for either on this approach. - What (or how many degrees) is a "bad angle"? Who decides that? - 2000 the 073 (after the IAF) is a minimum safe altitude for this segment (see the side view) - You need to be *AT* 1020 ft MSL at BUVAY (not above). That's why there's a line below AND above that 1020 number. You got it right when discussing the side view. - MSA = Minimum Safe Altitude. - 308 ft is MSL (which for this runway/approach is 200ft AGL. The 1/2 at the end there is visibility.

a fool and their money are soon parted, robots will fly airplanes soon.

Yet another Corporate America rip-off. $100K and there are STILL additional expenses??? They ought to be shut down asap. Go to a smaller "mom and pop" flight school that will work with you as an individual and understand that we all have different learning styles speeds of learning. At least start with a smaller school when getting your initial training.

If the student fails, it is the instructors fault.

This place is a real dumpster fire! No job will be waiting for you. Do not go here.

Can you make a video about ifr lost comms very soon. checkride is soon

got a question lets say i want to do my written exam before flight school just like you said do i need to book the flight school like pay for it before going?

BEST AVIATION ALERTS IN THE WORLD

I did both I’d say get ur private somewhere else and take ur time then go to ATP if u need the financing

What job were you able to get instead of waiting for a ATP CFI position?

2k for CFI ride?? That’s wild and 1k for the other checkrides? Wooooof

Could you make a video on what you would do if you were starting again from zero? There are a lot of paths and it seems hard to make the right decision; lots of promises but when you look into it there are lots of cons as well it seems

Fire content!!!

I looked at atp quite a few years ago, at the time they were charging 56k for their program. At the time I couldn't even afford that so let it go. I've been planning a career switch, and hey let's get all the info again. Yeah I choked when I saw 110k. No thanks!

Risky AF. More luck than skill. I guess you guys got trapped by bad weather?

Dude why you landing with no viability?

Love you video! Thanks for honest explanation.

I was only watching it and I think my @ss puckered a little. Nice work!

9:31 the basic med is for if have or had a medical certificate and want to go with that route instead. Soda is used if you cannot get a medical certificate due to health condition non progressive.

Like atp/blue line or any accelerated flight school program, they can drop you if you don’t keep up the pace. The problem is you still owe the money even if they bump you out. Crazy money that will take years to pay off or recoup. Dopey.

Now that the hiring pipeline has narrowed, and airlines are furloughing, there's really no justification for rushing your education via a Part 141. Take your time and control more of your learning/spend.

watched this like 5 times have my checkride in two days!

Thanks for the video man! I'm about to take my checkride at KCXO and this helped a lot!

I waited 8 months to get CFI position at my location

Do one for an instrument checkride

What was your total time once you finished the program?

11% dam

Current ATP student here in my instrument stage. I came in credit private from a local school. Due to weather delays, 3 CFI being pulled by the airlines and lack of DPEs it took me a year and half to get my PPL. I’m 3 weeks in and have my Instrument Checkride next week…the program moves fast and yes if you can’t keep up you do run the risk of getting the boot so it’s def not for everyone. I’m 37 so I can’t afford to take my time with the training. Plus I don’t have the upfront capital needed to get my certs in a local school. That is why ATP made sense for me. One thing that is deff worth the cost of ATP is if you are able to get into a cadet program. That unfortunately ties you to teaching at ATP or other participating flight schools (the list of which is very exclusive).

I thought ATP was a scam after giving it a try, then I left and tried another smaller school and then I really learned what a flight school scam looked like in Conroe.

Sounds like it’s worse than Lift, which is saying something. Paid 82K which includes the equipment, first checkride attempt’s, and applications. Seems like ATP is slightly faster if you can survive it.

It was $69.9k when I went in 2018. Just had to pay for the checkrides on top. Finished in 8 months. Had a good experience with a good group of like minded others. We all studied and worked hard. Didn’t instruct for ATP tho took another better opportunity that opened up. Fly in the legacies today. It’s how you make it. Best of luck, cheers!

The video ends at 8:35

Good thing I didn’t get accepted everything really do happen for a reason thanks for the video

My part 61 instructor is also a DPE. He fails ATP students left and right because he tests their true understanding of flight knowledge and maneuvers, and many of the ATP students just come up a little short because they are all learning from instructors that only have a few hundred hours themselves. I much prefer learning from an instructor that has thousands of hours of experience teaching students and as a corporate pilot, not an instructor just using you to build their own hours to go to airlines.

Shout out to Mark Boss

You had to pay?

Keep doing what you’re doing bro

Had to watch this since my instructor never showed me. Good video

Holy shit, I went through ATP 2005-2006 and it somehow managed to get worse!
