ATP Flight School

What if you have no interest in becoming an airline pilot but you do want to have the same level of experience and skill? Can you still apply?...

I joined ATP at Colorado Springs in May of 2020 and finished the ACPP in January, and I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made! The location is still relatively small, so everyone knows everyone, and it feels like a family. I really enjoyed the instruction I received because the instructors here really care about the student. I would recommend ATP COS to anyone who is looking for a career in the airlines!

This location is small at the moment, but all of the instructors are very knowledgeable and great at helping us to understand everything we need to know. It’s honestly like a family feeling down here everyone helps each other out if we are struggling or not sure what to do. It’s also a great place to fly with the mountains to the west and a great open area to the east with little obstacles to have fun flying.

I joined the ATP program a few months ago on the flex track program which allows me to work full time and learn to fly on my days off. The instructors here are extremely professional yet make you feel like family. Currently Jake is my instructor and he is extremely supportive and helpful in building my skills and confidence. I would recommend this particular location for flight training as you get to experience high altitude flight training, you will receive experience in crosswind takeoffs and landings (as there is usually wind coming in at all times), and you get to take off from a class C airport(KCOS). The have a flight simulator in their office that is available 24/7, and are located at an FBO that has a military contract so you get to see cool military aircraft coming and going daily. They have new, well maintained aircrafts with the Garmin g-1000 navigation system (rather than the old school 6-packs that most other schools use around here). The flight instructors are the highlight of this location and I can’t wait to see it grow as there are many new students joining to get into a career in aviation!
