What is the ATP?

ATP stands for Airline Transport Pilot in the U.S. Other countries refer to this as the ATPL (airline transport pilot license). This is the highest level of pilot certificate, and your final step to becoming an airline pilot.

Our FAA-approved Part 61 flight school emphasizes flight safety first. This includes every course in each program. From PPL to multi-engine, our courses fulfill requirements that lead to your FAA issued licenses. Above all, you will have unrestricted access to excellent instructors and the newest training equipment. We provide quality instruction at an affordable cost. Epic welcomes all students at all levels and can build on your existing training whether military or private.
