Day in the life of an ATP Flight Student

[@TheLazyGoose]

This was THE most informative video on breaking down what the days are like at ATP. Thanks a ton!

[@TheLazyGoose]

I also just want to say that I’m going to be starting ATP next year to become a pilot. I’m 21 and got my cdl license as soon as I could and I’m trucking for a year and saving every penny to go towards flight school. Please keep making videos on your journey through it, they’re exactly what I need.

[@pilot_micah]

Daniel Novick that’s awesome man, what location? And definitely save up as much as you can, every bit helps!

[@TheLazyGoose]

Micah Wade I live in south Florida, so probably the Fort Lauderdale location

[@pilot_micah]

Daniel Novick gotcha, hadn’t flown there yet but good luck if you do end up joining!

[@yamkaw346]

Did you do it?

[@jakethomas8250]

@@TheLazyGoose did you do it man

[@quillevergreen847]

I think you did a wonderful job helping people get a glimpse into the day to day life at ATP

[@zucchiniboy007]

Thanks for this informative video! I plan on touring the Daytona location and going on a discovery flight next year, and hopefully starting officially sometime around October 21.' I already accepted a post-graduate internship this fall with Marriott, so I will just enjoy that obligation and use the year to save up as much money as possible for flight school. Though watching your videos definitely gives me the itch to kind of just go to ATP as soon as possible! Good luck with your program!

[@chrisvega7113]

Great video this info is really good and I love to hear about it. That’s for telling us about your time at atp!!

[@pilot_micah]

Thank you, glad you like it!

[@matthewstephens9874]

Thanks for the info, I am starting at Jacksonville on July 13, your videos have been helpful.

[@pilot_micah]

Awesome, good luck!

[@evangessner5152]

How is the Jacksonville location?

[@tbrooks4064]

Considering ATP. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.

[@natashaclare34]

You may or may not see this but does every student get those two days off a week even if they aren’t working? I feel like for me personally I do learn best when I get a minute to stop and recharge/spend time with friends and family and then jump back in

[@kylec5981]

I'm considering ATP myself, you've mentioned you live in Orlando, I see that they have an Orlando campus, why did you choose the Daytona location?

[@pilot_micah]

Kyle Cox the Orlando location opened up a while after I had already started, so at the time Daytona was the closest.

[@fitrafi7645]

Thanks micah🙏

[@brentbeatty4171]

I currently work a position in the steel mill in Weirton West Virginia near Pittsburgh. I would like to consider training for this profession but I work 12-hour turns.

[@nyrubin]

So quit! I'm quiting my job after 11 years of working in the Carpenters union in NYC my base salary is 130k without o.t. unfortunately I found out about the piloting life late into my 20's and didn't start till my 30's so I never saved for it. But I'm all in! 117k student loan, mortgage, care taker the whole nine. Cutting it close but more reasons than excuses 💪✌

[@ryanconrad2011]

This was very informative. Thank you!

[@peggychien1931]

great video!

[@pilot_micah]

Peggy Chien 😘😘

[@ghassaneiwaz887]

This is a great video. Thank you! when it comes to paying for the program. Do you think taking 80K+ to finish the program worth it?

[@jasonlewis9519]

Well done

[@Patsworldbaby]

I talked to the APT school today they said the financing would also pay for all your bills. But man idk imma trucker. Im 28 could be making close to 70k later this year. Being a local driver. I got about 5 years of experience. But I think flying would be cool to do though. Been thinking about it 🤔

[@WyattSivils]

Do you typically have weekends off for family or relationship time? My closest ATP location is around three hours away, I plan to start mid summer just trying to get an idea of how often I could expect to see my girlfriend lol.

[@pilot_micah]

Do you plan on commuting or moving there? And typically most people don’t fly on Sunday, but if you want the weekends off you definitely could work that out with your instructor. Just as long as you’re getting at least 3 flights in a week.

[@WyattSivils]

Micah Wade I would definitely have to move there, the commute would be entirely too much.

[@pilot_micah]

Wyatt Sivils I agree! Anything more than an hour would be pretty rough

[@brendanrussell1388]

Have you looked at the Orlando Location?

[@bengoodridge9892]

Did you find the Training support specialists helpful? Im training at ATP to be one.

[@jimmybeatworld]

Great video! Did you have any of your written exams done before you started?

[@pilot_micah]

Nope just took them all as I went through the program. Doesn’t hurt to get ahead tho!

[@austinbearden5430]

How far out in advance do they give you your schedule?

[@AidenMyers8]

I’m interested in enrolling at ATP but I have some questions. How is the dorms there? What is the average tuition? Are the professors or instructors good? And can you apply for scholarships? Thank you for answering these questions for me.

[@huntercooke9592]

6:00

[@joseduron7747]

Thanks for the great info about the program! Is ground school teaching after every flight or a few times a week at a set schedule?

[@pilot_micah]

There’s a little bit of ground before and after each flight, more so briefing. There’s usually a few grounds a week depending on your needs.

[@mackenzieharvey7709]

I have a intro flight at the Arlington TX location in a couple of days! Any tips on how I should prepare or questions I should ask?

[@thirdwatch554]

How is this program if you have a job? Are you able to complete this program if you work?

[@FedoraSnatcher]

no

[@nyrubin]

They have different programs, atp is a part 61 school so it's structural to be flexible.

[@abyssfright950]

are you able to work a full time job and attend or should i quit my job?

[@nyrubin]

Try to do both! It'll take younger and cost a little more, checkout the Flex program on their website (PS he answered this question on this video)

[@kunyanhuang9450]

Dream my home in the sky

[@coasternut3091]

So how well would this work if you already have full-time job and are 2 hours from the closest location

[@st33lw0lf6]

ATP doesn't want their students to work while they're in the program.

[@californiahighwaypatrol577]

during holidays do you get the day off or not?

[@pilot_micah]

Yes

[@jcfannin9314]

How has covid affected the training

[@pilot_micah]

Civcas Bloodbath dew delays in the beginning, but after that it got going as usual. I’ve already finished the program.

[@trevorkeckley3910]

Is no one gonna mention how this guys got two doors two feet apart into the same room ??

[@noahwade6022]

HERE BEFORE IT BLOWS UP

[@myob2k]

Thanks for your video. Is the school available during the covid

[@pilot_micah]

MYOB MYOB still up an running!

[@ashkanfered]

Great stuff yet again Micah. Im starting on the 20th of April but due to the recent outbreak my Kore Aviation headset (same as yours) wont be arriving until 5/4/20. Are there any loaner sets available at the school until mine comes in?

[@pilot_micah]

Ash Fered that’s awesome man, which location? Usually they have a few spare headsets at the training flights, they may or may not let you use them I’d just check with your instructor when you get assigned one. Good luck tho!

[@ashkanfered]

@@pilot_micah Thanks man. I appreciate the response. I'm starting at LGB! I was able to bargain a avcomm ac-200 on Offerup for 30 bucks!! Hope it all works good mean time i get my actual set. I will save it as a back up/for my girlfriend when we fly.

[@nyrubin]

💪💯✌

[@Steveyg2015]

can you have tattoos at atp?

[@pilot_micah]

Yes you can, just have to cover them up.

[@JR_Rojas1990]

There’s a lot of time” spenting” huh?

[@andrewlundin7194]

Sounds cool. Too bad you have to be rich to go, and have rich people credit to get approved for a loan of 100k. I’ve been declined on every loan even though me and a co-signer both have good credit and have 700+ scores each. I want to start this program desperately, but looks like it won’t be possible, so that’s neat.

[@zacharylecours3211]

Michah Do you have instagram so i could by chance DM you questions i have about paths to the airlines?
