You want to become a professional airline pilot one day. How do you get your multiengine Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate or R-ATP (restricted) certificate? What do you need to know BEFORE you start even your instrument rating or commercial pilot training? How can you unlock extra cross country time you didn't know you had? What benefit does attending a college/university with R-ATP approval have for you and your career?

When deciding where to do your flight training, consider whether the college or university can allow you to get your R-ATP and save yourself 500 hours total time and potentially a YEAR or more before you can fly for an airline! Ask the college/university to see their approval letter from the FAA or at least the approved list of coursework. LeTourneau University's list and approvals is found here (as an example): https://bit.ly/R-ATP
Here is an article I wrote on this topic: https://bit.ly/R-ATP2

Referenced is Advisory Circular 61-139 which you can read here: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_polic...
