What is 23 years old?
Holding an ATP certificate grants the same privileges as holding this lower-level certificate with an instrument rating.
What is a commercial pilot certificate?
This atmospheric condition is the cause of altitude-induced hypoxia.
What is an insufficient partial pressure of inhaled oxygen?
This certificate enables pilots to obtain an ATP with fewer flight hours than the standard 1,500 hours, but with specific limitations.
What is a Restricted ATP (R-ATP) Certificate?
This document serves as a guide for applicants on what they must know, do, and consider for the ATP knowledge exam and practical test.
What are the Airman Certification Standards (ACS)?
To apply for the ATP certificate, a pilot must hold this certificate with an instrument rating or its foreign/military equivalent.
What is a First-Class Medical Certificate?
An ATP may instruct in aircraft of the same category, class, and type, and endorse the logbook of the person to whom training has been given. However, an ATP may not instruct in aircraft for more than this many hours in any consecutive 24-hour period.
What is 8 hours?
When a jet aircraft is flown at the appropriate airspeed for maximum range, this type of drag predominates.
What is parasite drag?
This is the minimum age to be eligible for an R-ATP certificate based on college education or military experience.
What is 21 years old?
The oral portion of the ATP practical test is typically conducted by this individual.
Who is a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE)?
The minimum number of hours of total flight time required for an ATP certificate.
What is 1,500 hours?
While an ATP can act as a pilot in command for compensation or hire, they cannot do this for the public to share expenses.
What is hold out?
This is the effect on total drag when airspeed slows below L/D Max.
What is drag due to increased induced drag?
This is the minimum number of flight hours required for a graduate of a four-year aviation college program to obtain a restricted ATP.
What is 1,000 hours?
This maneuver, during a checkride, requires maintaining a specific heading, altitude, and roll-out heading within specific tolerances.
What are Steep Turns?
This course, required since 2014, prepares pilots for the ATP knowledge test.
What is the ATP Certification Training Program (CTP)?
An ATP may serve as a second in command in flag or supplemental operations under Part 121 of this chapter requiring this minimum number of pilots.
What is chapter three?
This phenomenon can occur at high speeds, causing local airflow separation and characteristics like pitch-up, pitch-down, or buffeting.
What are shockwaves?
This is a key limitation of a Restricted ATP certificate, restricting the pilot from acting as this in a Part 121 operation.
What is Pilot In Command (PIC)?
This maneuver, during a checkride, involves recognizing an engine failure during takeoff and initiating the correct procedure.
Handling an engine failure during the takeoff roll or initial climb.
This flight time, in hours, is specifically required in the class of airplane for the rating sought.
What is 50 hours?
An ATP may not instruct in Category II or Category III operations unless they have been trained and successfully tested under these conditions.
What is specified training and testing in Category II or Category III?
This system provides heating, cooling, ventilation, oxygen, pressurization, and supply for ice protection systems.
What are the pneumatic and environmental systems?
Military pilots can receive a restricted ATP with this many hours of experience.
What is 750 hours?
This is an example of an emergency procedure that might be covered during the practical test's flight portion.
What is a powerplant failure or engine failure?
