Nope...but you use it to study your practice tests with. All it is teaching you is word recognition. Certain key words are associated with certain answers --- just to make the memorization process quicker and easier. It's especially handy when doing the performance and weight shift calculations!!! You don't even have to bust out a calculator/E6B or anything!!!

I'd recommend the Sheppardair program. It's the same thing as ATP, but only $75. You can download the software on your computer and study at your own pace. Plus Sheppardair has a money back guarantee. Best $75 I've ever spent. Studied for 2 days for a couple hours and got a 90.

I also did the ATP thing a while back (when it was a bit less than $300) and it's worth the money!!! Except it took me more like 5 hours to prepare (maybe I'm just old). Anyways, no matter what your method of studying you'll be ready for the test, I think I got a 90 or a 92. Of course there's no guarantees, I've heard of a few folks that actually failed it because they thought that the school was going to give them the answers during the test. You actually have to study a bit, but hey! It's only for one day.

Good luck.

The ATP 121 is good for 135 and 121....

The ATP 135 is ONLY GOOD FOR 135.... NOT FOR 121.

TAKE THE 121!!!!

Just another worthless hoop to jump through. The FARs and certificate written tests need to be updated. 727, 737 and DC-9? How about CRJ/ERJ, 75/76 or Airbus performance questions?

Sad!







OO.

Another vote for sheppardair.com

Don't waste time, travel, or money on anything else.

99% for me after studying for a couple of days....and I'm an idiot.

Yet another vote for Sheppardair. I did it prior to my Comair interview last summer, also. I got a 99 on it, too. Studied for a couple of hours, three days, no 121 background. If you have any questions, they have an instructor 24 hours available on phone also. I seriously recommend it. Forget this $300 thing. Download the program and the study guide that comes along with it. It's a great deal. (The program itself looks really cheesy, though, but who cares...it's the content anyway). I believe they have a guarantee where if you find a question in your written that wasn't in the study guide, they'll refund your money or something like that. Luckily, all the questions in the written I had already seen in the program already. It literally took me 15 minutes to get the ATP written done.

Ok, done....hope I didn't sound like a Billy Mays.

Absolutely agree.
With the info I had at the time (pre ATP) and my experience now with actually completing the ATP; IT IS A NO BRAINER. When it was time for me to take the ATP I worked with a few guys that studied for months and said it was the hardest thing to do; some even failed and were on their second attempt. After learning from others experience I decided to spend the $300.00 and travel 3 hours one way to do it the one day ATP route. I did no prior study and passed with over 80%. I drove back home the same day with a weight off my chest and plenty of extra time to make up the money I spent on it. Do yourself a favor and spend a little to save yourself ALOT. I am a 121 FO and I have not used anything that test had to offer that I did not already know as a flight instructor or was taught to me (aircraft specific) by my airline.

I did Sheppardair. I took the ATP in 10 minutes and got a 96....
