How long

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get through the pro pilot training? I couldnt find it on their website. And do they take non us citizens.

No, but they do take citizens from other countries.

I searched the site myself and could not find any info as well. There is a user, Catherine, that is there training right now. You could shoot here a pm and she may be able to get you some answers. I know it's not the answer you probably want, but you could just give them a ring as a last resort.

From what I understand it will take anywhere from 6-10 months.
It all depends on weather, maintenance, your studying habits.
Apparently the instructor rating can also cause some delays.
AriBen will take international students. If you check the website, the
whole procedure is listed. May I ask where you're from?

Cheers

I was born in Canada, but moved to the US when I was 6 months old. I am 41 now,career changer,and was seriously thinking of going to ATP for the 90 day program, until yesterday when I found out that they dont take international students anymore. Im kind of in a bind now,as I dont have 6-10 months to devote to training full time. Im hoping my citizenship comes thru in the next few months so I can go to the 90 day program. That would fit into my situation.

hmmm and to think that say 4 years ago if not less then that you'd have to spend a heck of a lot of time to get to this point......

6 months isnt long bud to get a good training some where..... and the 90 day program at ATP doesnt include PPL..... That's an addtional 2 months....

I already have my PPL, and I know 6months isnt long for training. But like I said before,the 90 day program would be best for me because of my present career. Still need to make money to pay bills,and I will still be doing real estate on a part time bases after I get all my ratings.

I know Skymates can get it done in 5 but that's without a job on the side and training..... So I am sure Ariben could be similar with that time frame.... Just give them a call and find out..... Either way take your time and enjoy the training..... 5-6-7 months we are talking less than a year still...... Enjoy it, anything less than a year is amazing......good luck bud
