Airline Transport Pilot Flight Training in Oregon
An Airline Transport Pilot Certificate is required in order to act as a flight crew member of a Part 121 Airline (ie Skywest, United, Alaska, etc.) or as the Pilot in Command of a Multi-Engine airplane under Part-135 operations (ie "charter" or certain small regional airlines).
Airline Transport candidates are required to have logged at least 1,500 hours of total flight time before they may acquire an ATP certificate. This 1,500 hour requirement may be reduced to 1,200 hours or 1,000 hours if the candidate completed certain two or four-year part 141 University programs, and may be reduced to 750 hours for candidates who flew in the Military.
Below is FAR 61 Subpart G, which covers training and certification of Airline Transport Pilots. It is current as of December 1, 2017. Be sure to refer to the source to make sure that all information is up-to-date!
