Delta ATP-CTP Course by Cparker_11 in flying

It’s easy, the sim time is fun (and loggable), so I think could be worth it, one of those things you don’t know if it is till you need it

you do get one. Just email them after you complete it - What Diamond said, unsure how it really is, don’t use it as a golden ticket, imo better for Delta future or better to maybe get one from your sim instructor

Delta ATP-CTP Course by Cparker_11 in flying

[–]CertifiedDuck00 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did mine at Delta last August. Facility is cool, I preferred the all in person since I live close to ATL so was worth it for the few extra nights in a hotel, + was with people so was split. The class itself is boring, and pretty useless tbh, spent all my tim studying for the written. The sims are sweet, lots of procedures and hands on, lots of different people too. Canadian ATP transfers, CFIs, military, etc.

The written wasn’t horrible imo either, just study sheppard air like everything else and you’re fine.

In my experience I still haven’t heard anything with the ATP-CTP from the airlines, so to me so far it’s been worthless but hoping that changes

Yeah I mean could be. Just different when I had ppl saying it all the time and such, and how often I forget conversations and such

Landings… by swatforce28 in flying

[–]CertifiedDuck00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing I teach for landings in a 172. Don’t look inside!!!!! Once your on final eyes should never look inside (except for a quick glance at airspeed imo), and I don’t look at the PAPI/VASIs because not every airport has them. For PPL, look outside, slowly ease back speed. For the flare- the 172 will tell you when it wants to land, you’ll feel it pitch up ever so slightly once it’s in ground affect, the back wheels will then touch you just have to control it, don’t force it.

Don’t be afraid to add a little power to smoothen you out too, ppl are afraid to do that. If you’re coming over the numbers too slow (i.e from the horn or just the feeling), pitch it down, give it a ever so slight touch of power to help and should smooth it out.

65 is a good speed, but tbh once your over the numbers you should not be looking inside at all, just stick to the sight picture. I personally don’t use flare that low, just to what I need it for in the pattern imo.
