Airlines recognize ATP’s Regional Jet Training as certification by ATP that you are a professional aviator, capable of passing their strenuous airline training. Ask any pilot who has completed ATP’s regional jet training, and you will hear that it reduced stress and improved performance in airline ground school. The bottom line is that Regional Jet Standards Certification ensures that even with relatively low flight time, you are best prepared to enter the airline pilot job market.
Commercial Pilots ready to start an airline career can now receive advanced jet training and enhance their ability to achieve their overall goals. The Regional Jet Standards Certification Program introduces pilots to Swept Wing Jet Aircraft flying, systems, and navigation in order to prepare pilots for fast paced airline training.
“I passed my proficiency check on the CRJ900 with Mesaba and
am just waiting for initial operating experience. The Regional Jet Standards Certification
Program I attended at ATP helped a ton. I was able to concentrate on many other things since I already
was very familiar with the systems and FMS. The profiles that ATP
put together were very similar to Mesaba's and I would tell
everyone to take the RJ Program to help there airline training go
smooth.”

Description

Regional Jet Standards Certification trains pilots on Regional Jet systems common to both Bombardier and Embraer Regional Jets, FMS navigation, airline-level Crew Resource Management, airline standard operating procedures, and includes 28 hours of FTD flight experience and CPT instruction plus ground school. Prior to arriving at the simulator training center, students must complete at least 40 hours of home study using materials provided upon scheduling.
Pilots begin training by attending an aircraft systems/FMS ground school where they learn and master the latest glass cockpit technology found in Regional Airline aircraft:
- Flight Management Systems (FMS)
- Electronic Flight Instrumentation Systems (EFIS)
- Engine Indication and Crew Alerting Systems (EICAS)
- Advanced Regional Jet Aircraft Systems
The topics covered use the CRJ-200 as a base aircraft, but are presented in a manner that allows for the primary principles to apply to many regional jet aircraft and some turbo prop aircraft.
Next, pilots undergo 28 hours of training in a CRJ-200 FTD and CPT to apply and perfect the ground school knowledge. All FTD instructors have extensive FAR Part 121 airline experience.
At the end of training, pilots must fly the CRJ-200 FTD to Airline Transport Pilot standards during an evaluation conducted by the Regional Jet Program Director or a senior Check Airman. If completed successfully, pilots will receive a certificate of completion which qualifies them for reduced hiring minimums.

Make the Right Choice
Regional Airline pilots perform all ground school and FTD instruction. They have first-hand operational knowledge of what flying a regional jet in today’s environment requires. Our pilots greatly benefit from the teaching and mentoring these individuals provide.
ATP’s CRJ-200 Flight Training Devices are more than just cockpit procedures trainers. These FTDs fully implement all systems on the CRJ-200 aircraft and have an FAA-approved flight model. Combined with a seamless wrap-around projection visual system, our FTDs offer maximum realism.
Seniority is everything—
get there first with ATP.
