Course Completion Standards require that each lesson be satisfactory. Note: Course ground and flight times in this program are of minimum levels necessary to complete the program. Actual times may be greater in order to meet required standards. ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS: Prior to enrolling in the flight portion of the airline transport pilot certification course, a person must: a. Meet the aeronautical experience requirements prescribed in Subpart G of FAR 141 for an airline transport pilot certificate that is appropriate to the aircraft category and class rating for which the course applies; b. Hold at least a commercial pilot certificate and an instrument rating; c. Meet the military experience requirements under 61.73 of this chapter to qualify for a commercial pilot certificate and an instrument rating, if the person is a rated military pilot or former rated military pilot of an Armed Force of the United States; or d. Hold either a foreign airline transport pilot license or foreign commercial pilot license and an instrument rating, if the person holds a pilot license issued by a contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTION: Make Model Engine Seating Special Equipment Diamond DA42 TAE 4 Garmin -1000 COURSE OVERVIEW The course is divided into two segments, Ground Training and Flight Training. Ground Training consists of 40 hours of structured training. Flight training is 25 hours of structured dual instruction.
PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM PAGE H-2 CURRICULUM: AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT 28 October 2010 REVISED GROUND TRAINING Ground training will include the following aeronautical knowledge areas: Airline transport pilot privileges, limitations and flight operations; Meteorology, including knowledge of and effects of fronts, frontal characteristics, cloud formations, icing and upper-air data; General system of weather and NOTAM collection, dissemination, interpretation and use; Interpretation and use of weather charts, maps, forecasts, sequence reports, abbreviations and symbols; National Weather Service functions as they pertain to operations in the National Airspace System; Windshear and microburst awareness, identification and avoidance; Principles of air navigation under instrument meteorological conditions in the National Airspace System; Air traffic control procedures and pilot responsibilities as they relate to en route operations, terminal area and radar operations and instrument departure and approach procedures. Aircraft loading; weight and balance; use of charts, graphs, tables, formulas and computations; and the effects on aircraft performance; Aerodynamics relating to an aircraft s flight characteristics and performance in normal and abnormal flight regimes; Human factors; Aeronautical decision making and judgment; and Crew resource management to include crew communication and coordination. The ground academic course of forty hours over thirteen lessen modules requires 8 class room days. The ATP ground course provides advanced training on the subject areas required by FAR 141. Additional self-study will be required for the ATP knowledge test. EXAMS Exams are given at the completion of each module of training to measure trainee knowledge. FINAL EXAMS The final exam will measure the trainee s knowledge of the entire course as well as measure preparation for the FAA written test. FLIGHT TRAINING Flight training will be conducted in a multi-engine aircraft. All training time in flight is dual instruction. A total of 25 hours will be provided. Flight training consists of: Dual Instruction Briefings Night Training Instrument Training Cross-Country Training STAGE I Stage I consists of a review of multiengine VFR procedures including normal, abnormal and emergency procedures. STAGE II Stage II is instrument flight procedures in normal, abnormal and emergency flight. POSTFLIGHT EVALUATION Used to grade each event or element for pilot records.

PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM PAGE H-5 GROUND LESSON 3 Adverse Weather Lesson concentrates on icing and its affect on aircraft, as well as research material on the subject. Adverse Weather Icing, Inflight A discussion of approved ground deicing/anti-icing programs, specifically emphasizing that these programs apply only to airplane ground operations. This discussion will emphasize that holdover time is applicable only to ground operations. Should freezing drizzle/rain conditions exist at takeoff time, the possibility of severe inflight icing must be considered since holdover time does not apply after the airplane reached rotation speed. A review of meteorological conditions likely to cause freezing drizzle, freezing rain, or SCDD. Identification of weather information sources and their use relative to in-flight icing. This will include use of AIRMET s SIGMET s, and HIWAS, as appropriate, for the flight crewmembers and dispatchers pre-flight planning and in-flight decision-making processes. Discussion of procedures, including Air Traffic Control (ATC) procedures, for pilot weather reports (PIREP) on severe icing to include reporting procedures. Discussion of information provided to flight crewmembers including identification of severe icing conditions, freezing rain and freezing drizzle, exit procedures should severe icing conditions be encountered, and ATC procedures.
