Thanks for the post robthree. I'm planning on taking my ATP written while I'm filling up the logbook with the last of my ATP mins. Just gotta get myself mentally prepared for having to pay for flying again
Except for a
very small amount of 135, all my flying has been 91 to this point. How does a checkride work in this case? Could a PIC checkride with the company double as an ATP checkride? (I think that's what you were referring to when you mentioned an engine restart, but not sure.)
Thanks again!
