Episode 85: Check Ride Deep Dive - ATP and Type Ratings


Listen Later

Episode Description:

On this episode of the Flying Midwest Podcast we dive deep into one of the biggest milestones for aspiring professional pilots: the ATP and Type Rating Checkrides. We walk through everything you need to know—from the key differences between an ATP certificate and a type rating, to the prerequisites, timelines, and real-world insights from someone who’s been through it all.

Our very special and super secret guest shares her firsthand experience, revealing how she prepared for the ATP CTP course, tackled the oral exam, and flew through the simulator portion—including the maneuvers, CRM expectations, and what surprised her most along the way.
