ATP Flight School Map

ATP offers more flying than any other academy, college, or small FBO, allowing you to meet your career objectives quicker than anywhere else. As an ATP flight instructor the more you fly, the more you will earn, with an increasing flight hour rate based on how much you fly.

In addition to a $1, 000 per month ground school guarantee and other rates for FTD hours, evaluations, exam proctoring, introductory training flights, and FAAST seminars, the hourly pay rate per flight hour increases with the number of hours flown that month.

Fly more than 100 hours per month: $20/hr
Fly more than 80 hours per month: $15/hr
Fly more than 60 hours per month: $10/hr
Fly less than 60 hours per month: $7.5/hr

The chart below compares how this increasing rate affects your monthly earnings.

Airline Career Pilot Program graduates must meet the following requirements to be eligible for guaranteed instructor job placement:

Within 60 days of graduation, accept an instructor proficiency program start date.

Instructor Proficiency Program

All instructor candidates participate in an instructor proficiency training program in Jacksonville, Florida or Phoenix, Arizona sponsored by ATP at no cost to you, with free housing. Candidates must successfully complete both multi-engine and single-engine modules that require flight proficiency to the level of Airline Transport Pilot Practical Test Standards, flying from the right seat. This level of proficiency is required due to the flight training demands of our customers for ATP Certificates and CFI ratings.

The instructor proficiency program includes approximately 4 hours of multi-engine and 4 hours of single-engine flight time for both prep and evaluation with an ATP Flight Standards Manager and Chief Pilot. Plus, you will receive unlimited access to multi-engine FTDs to stay proficient.

ATP invests approximately $5, 000 into your flight proficiency to ensure you meet the high standards expected of an ATP flight instructor.
