Welcome to Taking Flight! If you’re new here, my name is Ethan Gregerson and I’m an 18-year-old Commercial Pilot and CFI/CFII/MEI out of Austin, TX. I’m super passionate about aviation and helping people, so I decided to start a channel dedicated to following me and my journey from a student pilot, to a captain at a major airline! As I work through my ratings, I will continue to make these videos to try and showcase the whole road from now, all the way up to airline pilot. If you’re interested in following my journey to the airlines, subscribe to this channel and make sure to like my videos to get this out to as many people as possible!
If you have any video ideas/requests, feel free to leave them down below in the comments and I’ll definitely be trying to get to as many requests as I can.

Thank you for the super useful info. I’m working my way to save up for when I apply for ATP’s program and this helped me get a better understanding of what will be expected of me. And I love your video series so far! Keep up the good work
Awesome!! I'm really glad they're helping out, that why I make the videos!
Great explanation Ethan. So much value in this video
Glad it was helpful!
You're very underrated 😢. Never stop making such amazing content ❤
Thank you!
Great video .....I understood everything you said
Thanks so much!
Great video! I’m a current ATP student. My commercial checkride is tomorrow. I start CFI academy on the 24th. Do you have any tips for success at the CFI academy? I hear how tough the program is and I want to be as prepared for it as I can be! Love the content!
Hey! Sorry for the late response. Hopefully your commercial checkride went well! CFI academy is the most intense part of the program, and my biggest tip for you is to just take it seriously. You're learning how to TEACH new pilots how to fly, and that's a massive responsibility. It's hard, but rewarding and worth it! Pay attention during ground even though it's hard, and keep chugging along. When you get handed your certificate, it's going to all be worth it, I promise!
Isn't the sport pilot certificate first? jk jk :P Just took my aircraft dispatcher check ride and working for a cargo airline while I get Part 61 hours for my commercial. Appreciate all your videos and insight to the process involved in obtaining ratings!
Sounds insane. I'm starting ATP next month and am super nervous. I'm working on knocking out a couple written exams before I start but they definitely aren't easy. What are your best studying tips?
Sheppard Air. That’s the studying tip
Same. I use sportys and study every category and then study the answers I got wrong after. Once I feel comfortable answering the wrong I dot he practice tests. $50 for all 3 endorsements on sportys
Sheppard air for everything past the PAR! My advice would be to split your time into 2, 2 hour blocks during the day for about a week. That should get you all ready for a written exam in less than a week if you're doing Sheppard Air!
How many, and which, exams are recommended to be completed before starting ATP? Are there certain exams that can only be taken once the program has started?
How r u teling tests bdfore u have been tought anything. It doesnt makd sense
Congratulations on completing the program are you planning on stay at ATP as an instructor
Thank you!! I am already a working instructor at ATP, yes
Great video, please keep it up with ATP-related content! Quick question: Do you recommend doing all written exams before even starting from "zero time" at an ATP location? If so, what impact would this have on the timeline of training? How much faster would one be able to get to the PPC?
hey, i’m at atp now (started with zero time) so i think i can answer!
getting the tests done won’t make the training go by faster, but it’ll remove a good amount of workload from an already difficult and fast paced program. if you get the tests out of the way now, you can focus on your ground and flight knowledge. especially starting with zero time, it’s a firehose of information and some people can get really overwhelmed. do everything you can to give yourself a head start
@@airman. Thanks a lot! Can I do all written exams before even starting flight training?
@@markaschmann8116 you can, that’s what i did. once you pass the private written exam (some use sportys to study, others use kings school) you can easily pass all the other ones using sheppard air as a study resource, even before starting flight training.
@@airman. But I have to do them one-by-one right? So take one, pass it, then the next one etc.?
@@markaschmann8116 you can do them in any order or study for multiple at the same time but i would recommend just getting through just one at a time. it took me around 2 months to finish them all
So I’m looking to apply to ATP im currently finishing up my private pilot at a different part 61 (didn’t know about ATP at the time) it seemed like a great option for people who are dedicated and want to become commercial pilots as a career. however, i’ve been hearing a lot of horror stories about how it’s extremely intense you can’t keep up you can lose all the money you put into it, which is over 80 grand at this point and its really dissuading to me. I love aviation it’s certainly a passion but i also know I’m not the type of person who can sit in a classroom and absorb 8 hours of lecturing. So i suppose my question is, is ATP the big bad wolf that everyone says it is? Is it just grueling bookwork? I know how many books ive had to read to get through PPL and while im upset at how long its taken me due to aircraft being unavailable instructors leaving etc etc i dont think i could have done it in 2 months thats crazy fast. I was hoping maybe private pilot was the hardest of them all since you need to have all of the knowledge and everything else is just building up off of that. So id really like to get your input on your experience before i commit to ATP.
I’m in the same boat
Im signing up in april. If you dont finish they dont keep all the money, they only take what youve used until then
Hey! I’m a senior in high school, and I want to be a pilot! Currently it’s my life goal! The funny thing is, the exact route you took, I want to take. I would go in right now, but I’m not 18. There is an ATP flight school, 10 minutes from my house, and it’s really sick! I also have 4 years experience in video editing and I want to do what you do, and document my experience! Is there a social media plug I could have to ask you my questions?
Sure! Go ahead and head over to my Instagram @captaingregerson
Do you think apt is worth paying all that money up front, I'm planning on trying to go next year and been trying to get as much info before bitting the bullet and congratulations with ur progress!
Depends on what you consider to be worth it! If you value getting done faster and better planes than most flight schools then yes, I would say it’s worth it. Just make sure you go to a location with a brand new fleet of aircraft
Does the ATP curriculum schedule involve classes where an instructor teaches a whole class or are you just solo studying throughout the entire program?
Combination of both!
How many hours did you accumulate after finishing ATP?
Hi, I’m currently a sophomore in High School debating if I should take the college route or flight school route. I want to get to the airlines fast but I’m afraid that without a degree someone with one could just get the job over me. Would it be sensible to just go to a college with a aviation school and get a degree with the proper certificates, or just go to a flight school(which cost significantly less) like ATP and get everything?
My situation might be a valuable consideration for you. I went to ATP fresh out of high school and just finished and graduate flight school. Now, I'm working as a flight instructor at ATP, making money and building hours, and getting my college degree on the side while I do this. By the time I'm old enough to work for the airlines, I'll have my degree and 1500 hours
@@TakingFlightWithEthan so is it a 4 year degree and if soo how fast r u finishijg it and is it online? I apologize for the many questions
@ahmedfarah4094 I want to know too lol I'm in same situation here
What if you don't want to work at the airlines? What if you want fly private jets, is atp a good choice?
I would say so! They have connections to private jet companies as well as airlines. They'll get you all the certifications you need to go there as well.
Hello! I need you to answer me this specific question plz!
I’m enrolled now in a flight school and I’m having difficulties ( restricted by the authorities due to my nationality ) to finish my 3 FAA licenses, therefore I have No flight hours at all and I’m wasting my time .. Then I got an idea that during this difficult time why shouldn’t I go to Europe and get only a frozen ATPL ? The question is : can I go to Europe and enroll in a flight school and get “only” an EASA frozen ATPL certificate with Zero flight experience ?? I want to have now only an EASA frozen ATPL can I have it ? How’s it gonna go ? Thank you so much dude!
Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with anything the EASA! I know the FAA regulations relatively well, but not EASA or Europe license transfers. I'd recommend reaching out to someone over there!
Sorry, I really wish I knew the answer to your question
Do you always talk that fast?
This man either has a flight ✈️ to catch or is nervous...
Why are you speaking so fast?
Just want to know not judging 🤗🙃
I just like to cover things quickly and not waste my viewers precious time!
@@TakingFlightWithEthan
Thank you very much!
I'm a new subscriber :')
So did ATP help you will all these certifications??
Yes they did!
