AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT
This is the "masters degree" of aviation certificates. This is your final step in achieving the highest certificate that the F.A.A. has to offer.

The ATP allows you to act as pilot-in-command under FAR part121 for a domestic, flag carrier or for commercial operations of large aircraft, act as PIC under FAR part 135 passenger-carrying operations of airplanes having seating capacity of 10 seats or more, instruct other pilots in air transportation service in aircraft of the category, class, and type for which you are rated.
