ATP Accepts Delivery of Four Cessna 172 Aircraft
Wilmington, DE — May 28, 2008
Airline Transport Professionals (ATP) today accepted delivery of four Cessna CE-172 aircraft. Airline Career Pilot Program students fly 172s for their Private Pilot Licenses and their Commercial Single-Engine and CFI Single-Engine ratings. With the addition of these aircraft, ATP's fleet now includes 138 flight training aircraft: 82 Multi-Engine Piper Seminoles, 50 Cessna 172s, 5 Diamond Stars, and 1 Cessna CitationJet.
ATP currently delivers more pilots to the regional airlines than any other single flight school, college, or academy. The company is successful through the efficient immersion of students in multi-engine airline-style flight training over a short time frame. The benefit for the customer is the best training on the market at an extremely competitive price. The safe and reliable Cessna 172 will continue to aid the company in meeting its strategic goals.
In 1984 ATP pioneered accelerated, professional multi-engine flight training with an emphasis on pilot career development. Today ATP’s Airline Training Programs prepare pilots for airline careers with nationwide flying experience in multi-engine aircraft. Airline hiring partnership letters with 10 leading regional airlines recognize the value of this experience, by offering ATP pilots specially reduced flight time minimums for airline employment, enabling pilots to reach their career goals faster. ATP flies over 5,000 hours and provides more than 300 FAA pilot certifications each month at 20 locations nationwide.
