ATP Flight School Unboxing | Pre-start Books & Materials

Hit that like button if you want to see more ATP content like this! I have a lot of ideas so let me know if you want to see more of it.
Welcome to Taking Flight! If you’re new here, my name is Ethan Gregerson and I’m an 18-year-old student pilot out of Austin, TX. I’m super passionate about aviation and helping people, so I decided to start a channel dedicated to following me and my journey from a student pilot, to a captain at a major airline! As I work through my ratings, I will continue to make these videos to try and showcase the whole road from now, all the way up to airline pilot. If you’re interested in following my journey to the airlines, subscribe to this channel and make sure to like my videos to get this out to as many people as possible!
If you have any video ideas/requests, feel free to leave them down below in the comments and I’ll definitely be trying to get to as many requests as I can.

Thank you, I don't see much atp videos as detailed as yours. Looking forward to hearing more

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

You’re welcome! Trying to come out with more?

[@thepenmen22]

Great video, it's nice to see an intro into ATP. I would definitely watch videos of your journey through ATP and onto whatever your final goal is.

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Awesome thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind moving forward. I'm hoping to document my entire journey through the program and have a lot of ideas.

[@Sciguy95]

ATP is who i plan to use since it has a school right next to where i live. Can't wait to start my journey too.

[@planeenthusiast9044]

Your channel is so underrated for the editing style and quality

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Thank you so much it means a lot! :)

[@eliaviation]

These comments are 100% correct! Underrated channel!!!

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Thank you Eli!!!!

[@garretttomasek3435]

Well now I have to join ATP just for the bag 😂

[@sebastianlugo6973]

Nice video! It cool to see all the stuff ATP gives it’s students

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Thanks!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@cttrucker2020]

Awesome man congratulations on your new journey!!!! I start ATP KHFD on the 26th good luck with everything

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Thank you very much, and best of luck to you as well!

[@alexkellum1]

Looks like the bag name is pronounced Wanna Roam! Might be starting here in Austin very soon

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Awesome!! Hope to see you here soon!

[@92503]

This channel only has 2k subscribers? Deserve way way more at least I can say I’m here before you blow up 😎✌🏾

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Haha thanks a lot for saying that:)

[@elizabethogedengbe6993]

I should join ATP this year or next See you soon

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Nice!

[@tyjogaming7002]

Thought since you go to atp it would be good to ask here, what is the difference between the main program and the airline fast track, and if you do fast track is it 175k or 275k total? Also for being a flight instructor to get your hours, how hard would you say it is to become one and what is it like to train other people?

[@benrichter584]

Where did you actually start to become a private pilot at 18? I’m trying to get into the same field as you from what I’m seeing and it would be helpful to know from someone who has already done it.

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

I did it at a mom and pop flight school near me. After that, I enrolled in ATP once i graduated high school

[@Bbqbuffett]

What do you think about career changes at age 38 with atp?

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Totally fine! i know many people who have

[@amroalhalemi9585]

Is there a way we can get this box 📦 without starting the program so I can study and take the FAA knowledge test,

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Maybe you could, but it costs 995 dollars.

[@kannonvolk5654]

From what you’ve seen is ATP’s curriculum a lot different from what you learned for your PPL? I’m wanting to switch over to ATP after getting me PPL here soon but am not sure if it will be too drastic of a change

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

You know, it actually surprised me. The adjustment from my part 61 school to ATP was very very easy. ATP has some non-standard procedures but for the most part, it felt very similar to my private pilot training.

[@kannonvolk5654]

@@TakingFlightWithEthan Awesome, I guess I’ll go for the switch then! Love the channel and videos as well, best of luck through your training!

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

@@kannonvolk5654 Thanks a lot Kannon! Glad you’re enjoying the videos. Best of luck to you as well!

[@piep6851]

Before starting training, first test to take is the written test, what is the full name of this test?

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

Private PIlot Airplane exam

[@jeffbrandner1536]

I am thinking into switching out of my career to become a commercial pilot. I have no debt but not a ton of money saved. Do you think taking on the debt with ATP is manageable and able to be paid down after finishing & working for a few years?

[@daniel_of_jersey4775]

If you have a ton saved thats great you might be able to get through it without a loan. They make you pay as you go not all at once when you start. Basically a couple thousand every few weeks i think.

[@MartinWenzelYT]

I'm also looking at a career change. I have a mortgage and a little saved up (so key will be figuring out how to cover those payments). I did a pre-approval with salle Mae for a $120000 loan (likely more than I will actually take out as my final loan). Depending on your credit and which repayment option you select, I had between $850 - $1000 / month payments. There are some nice tuition reimbursement programs with some regional airlines now to help when you have to start repaying during your instructing days, but once you are at a regional within two or three years you should be in a good position with the large bonuses they are paying out. This is one of my major concerns as well, since I figure I'll be making less than what I'm making now for at least three years and we are already on a tight budget without adding another big monthly payment. But if you look long term, it is definitely worth it. It's just trying to figure out how to make ends meet during training until you land an airline gig.

[@geddon436]

Why did you choose ATP?

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

I've got a few reasons! Main one is the speed and ability to finance though. Would you be interested in a video about it?

[@geddon436]

@@TakingFlightWithEthan Yes. Although, looking at the total cost, i'm skeptical I would pay such a high amount of money.

[@StrictlySports]

@@geddon436 well college is way more

[@StrictlySports]

@@TakingFlightWithEthan yes please

[@geddon436]

@@StrictlySports No. Many are cheaper.

[@topofthegreen]

ATP is overpriced, you wasted your money.

[@matthewsansom5180]

But they still do a great job of getting you in and out asap

[@TakingFlightWithEthan]

So getting your ratings faster and getting into a regional flow faster for a longer career is a waste of money?
