do you have 1500 hours? Do you have a pulse? Hired!!
- Would FAA pose any restrictions concerning my flight time when I would be applying for the ATP ?
The only restrictions would be if you qualify for a restricted ATP.
- How does the ATP-CTP work ? Do I pass the written ATP prior of after ? Is there any check ride ? Do the hours count towards the 1500 mark ?
You take the ATP-CTP Course before taking the ATP knowledge test. The ATP/CTP course qualifies you to take it. There is no checkride for the ATP/CTP. The simulator hours may count up to the maximum allowable simulator hours for the ATP requirements.
- What happens when a regional does a background check with the FAA ?
In my case, no checkride and no written would show up. I'm worried this red flag my application.
I wouldn't worry about this.
-I don't have a US driver licenses, should I get one before applying ?
I don't recall my company ever asking for a drivers license.
Sorry for the multiple questions, but I'm really looking forward to your answers.
Thank you very much and have a nice day !
