How much does it cost to get an Airline Transport Pilot certificate?

Question

Hmm... well, how much is it in the U.S. is what I meant.

Heh, sorry... I know it's a little late but how much would it be alone? I mean like, if you already have your commercial pilot's license, how much more would it cost to get your ATPL?

Answer 1

You must have 1500 hours PIC time, including a lot of other requirements. If you know how much you have spent to get your current hours, add to that the cost of any additional hours needed. Check with a local instructor about the average practice hours needed to pass the ATP flying test. Add to that the cost of the examination, and then you will know. Prices vary. Some schools will guarantee a passing grade for a fixed amount, others charge by the hour with no guarantee.
Actually there is no ATP certificate. ATP is a rating added to your current pilot certificate.

Answer 2

It varies from places to countries to planets and universe girl.
I'm doing commercial in Adelaide, Australia rather than in my own country coz its slightly cheaper here. But then ATPL is cheaper in my country compared to where I'm currently doing my commercial so after getting my commercial, I'm going home to do air transport. See what I mean?

Answer 3

Somewhere north of $100,000. Some of this will be offset if you take the usual route of racking up time through flight instruction. The big ticket item is getting multi-engine and jet time; getting private, instrument, and commercial can probably be done for less than $20,000 -- but not much less.

Answer 4

It really will depend on two factors. Where you decide to do your training, by this I not only mean where you live but the cost of courses available to you. And the second, and most important issue is , how much of yourself are you willing to put into it. I have been in avaition for many years and encourage you to give it your all. And, best of luck
