Self-Paced Curriculum
As a self-paced student, you must dedicate at least ten days per month to your training. Anticipate an additional 10-20 days of required availability compared to the Fast Track Training Timeline.
CFI Training
CFI Training will require approximately 14 consecutive days in Atlanta, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, or Las Vegas. ATP provides housing and air transportation to the CFI Training Center. You are responsible for your own local ground transportation.
Daily Training Schedule
You will coordinate your daily training schedule with your flight instructor and ATP's Flight Operations team. Depending on instructor and aircraft availability, you may accelerate your training pace and complete the program in much less time than possible with training just 10 days per month.
