ATP Flight School has unveiled a new 25,875 square-foot airline pilot training center at the Arlington Municipal Airport (GKY), Texas. Joining ATP's nationwide network of 70 locations, the flagship Arlington facility is the largest in Texas and poised to meet the demand for pilots from Dallas-based airlines. The training center's advanced capabilities and resources will actively support all Dallas-based airlines in the coming years as they increase pilot hiring.
Each aspect of the new building is designed to efficiently deliver total-immersion airline pilot training. Students in ATP's Airline Career Pilot Program start with zero experience and graduate as commercial multi-engine pilots and flight instructors in seven months.
Students at the Arlington training center fly with the latest technology, including Garmin G1000 NXi equipped Cessna 172 Skyhawks and Piper Archers. To support growing demand, ATP is adding to this fleet with deliveries of factory-new Pipers. A co-located ATP maintenance facility services the fleet and ensures dispatch reliability to keep students training on time.
ATP is the only school in Dallas able to offer airlines a complete pilot training solution, it says, with nearby ATP JETS in Irving. The part 142 airline training center complements initial pilot certification at Arlington and is one of the largest ATP CTP (Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program) providers, having graduated nearly 10,000 airline pilots.
ATP's 35-year presence in Texas has played a prominent role in sourcing airline pilots for Dallas-based airlines. More alumni have been hired by American Airlines than any other major airline, and over 650 graduates have gone on to fly for Dallas-based American Eagle carrier Envoy Air.
