Because of the level of experience required for an ATP add on rating, each program is individualized to suite the customers needs. Most of our ATP add on candidates come to us to 'brush-up' on Maneuvers and Instrument refresher.
In our experience we have found that most ATP add on applicants will spend $3,000-5,000 in flight training. This includes books and supplies, dual instruction in the helicopter and testing fees. But this will vary from customer to customer.
- Dual Instruction $255 per hour
- Dual Instrument Instruction $270 per hour
- Ground Instruction $45 per hour
- Exam Fees $600
