Discap Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I am not finding anything in the way of prep for my ATP checkride. There are some YouTube videos for fixed wing but nothing for rotary. I have checked with Helicopter Ground School and nothing. My instructor is in the Guard and over a MediVac company, but he does not have an ATP or any knowlege of how to prepare for it. I am mostly concerned about the oral side of things. I have about 1000 hours flying in the clouds so that part doesn't bother me. I have already passed my written (missed one question) thanks to Sheppard Air. I have the Practical Test standards but I guess I am looking for some experience on what the examiners expect during the oral and any gotchas on the practical. Thanks Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helonorth Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Your NG and EMS pilot instructor has no idea how to prepare for an ATP ride? That's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppaguy84 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I haven’t taken mine yet but I did hear from my CFI that your altitude mins. are +/- 50 feet and you are not allowed to ask the examiner to take the controls if I remember right. So no “autopilot” help while changing frequencies or setting up an approach for example. It was a quick conversation and I may be remembering it wrong but those points stick out in my mind. The precision approach errors allowed are cut in half too…if I remember correctly 😁 You may already know all this too. Anyway, best of luck. Some ATP guys will chime in soon I’m sure with much better info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
