Welcome to Taking Flight! If you’re new here, my name is Ethan Gregerson and I’m an 18-year-old student pilot 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.

I'm a CFI/CFII/MEI in Denver. Yesterday i was flying with a student doing an IFR approach and talking to ATC (Denver Approach 126.1) when a career track (aircraft (aka ATP) conntacted Denver for a visual into KBJC (broomfield). Guess what type of plane it was? Not a Cessna 172. It was a F'n Cessna Citation. Tail number CTK2. When your flight school has a Cessna Citation to fly their "execs" around, you need to question the prices they are charging and don't accept any BS response they give you when questioning how they can afford to fly around in a Private Citation. Be weary of any outfit that wants you to pay up front for flight time.
ok.. sounds like you just figured out economics/capitalism. Seems like it was a good day!
I'm already thinking about getting admitted next year when I move to NY after graduating by the end of yr. Glad I found your vid and my knowledge about ATP just expanded thanks to you!
That's awesome! I'm glad my video could help you. Best of luck!!
Hi my name is Adrian Rodriguez I'm currently a student at the NY location. If you have any questions or concerns I would be happy to help.
@@adrianrodriguez7300 Thanks for commenting and being willing to help Adrian. Are you at ISP?
@@TakingFlightWithEthan Yeah I’m from ISP but I’m going to CFI academy tomorrow
Definitely interested, keep these up kiddo.
Will do! Thanks a lot!
This seems more like a modular course , I'm interested how an intergraded course would be
11/10 vid! What mic do you use?
Could you elaborate more on which written exam i would need before starting? Like should i take just (PAR) (IRA) (CAX)? Or should i also take (FOI) (FIA) (FII) (AGI) and (IGI)? its difficult to see exactly which test i need to complete.
I keep hearing people say get your exams out the way. Can u pls tell me what exams I should have done before stepping into ATP or any flight school to accelerate my journey. I am currently about to do an online ground school. What other exams should I try and knock out to save time and money and also so I can just focus mainly on flying
Starting my ATP training Monday! So excited and did not get my written exams done yet so I’m scrambling tryna get them done lol🤣
Where did you go to get the written exams done?!
I went to an ATP location to do them.
Congrats! Hope it's going well
@@ScarletGuts there’s actually a testing center at the airport I’m flying at! But you can also go on PSI and find a location nearest to where you are too I believe😊
@@TakingFlightWithEthan thanks so much!! Hope everything’s going well for you😍🙌🏼✈️
Do they give you your written exams 6 weeks before hand? Or do you have to do a deep dive for them on google?
What are the hour of training is like? Can you work while you’re enrolled.
I’m interested in enrolling at ATP but I have some questions. How is the dorms there? What is the average tuition? Are the professors or instructors good? And can you apply for scholarships? Thank you for answering these questions for me.
I'm actually in the middle of producing a series on all these questions as we speak, so stay tuned for that!! I think they'll help people like you a lot.
To answer your questions simply though, living is usually with 3 other students and you'll share a room with one other student. Tuition starting from zero is $91,995 and tuition with your private pilot certificate is $71,995. Instructors I've had are really good at my location in Georgetown Texas (GTU) but I can't speak for all locations. As far as scholarships, ATP doesn't provide any, so they would have to be external.
You're very welcome!! Stay tuned for the videos coming out about all these questions
Can you do all written exams separately from ATP school, and still go?
What happens after ATP? How do I get a job? How do I get flight hours? How do I know where to move?
Is there any compass test info?
Atp zero to airline pilot cost is around 96k dollars is that only for 250hours cpl or 1500 hours cfi?
I am now 10 years ahead in preparation!!!!!
Yesss go Eli!
Hey, what written exams do you advise me to take before entering the atp program?
See my other video!
I want to move to Idaho from so cal and be able to fly home and back
Hi do u recommend getting all the ratings at a local flight school or attend an academy like atp ?
Depends on what you're looking for. If you want speed and efficiency, something like atp. But if you want your own pace and you have the money in cash, go to a local. At the end of the day though, it's all a personal choice
Hey! Im starting at ATP this upcoming Monday. Do we need to bring all the books/materials that were shipped to us? Or just certain ones?
I’d bring them all in your car!! You definitely won’t need all of them but it’s just good to have to pull as nrefed
@@TakingFlightWithEthan awesome! Thank you so much for your help!
@Olivia Andrae how much was your total tuition cost in loans?
My question is ATP flight school don’t have ground school??
Do they not do ground school during training? Would you suggest purchasing a ground school program like sportys has on their app? I was wondering how one would go about getting the written exams done ahead of time. How do we get instructor sign off for the testing if we haven't even started at ATP?
Most CFI's will sign off on a written if you submit 3 90's to them prior to the endorsement. If not, then a completion of required course (like sporty's) will be good in lieu of an endorsement with a CFI.
@@TakingFlightWithEthan what did you do? Did you pay for sportys course? How would you submit 3 90's?
@@MartinWenzelYT I paid for sportys
Okay, I was curious. I've heard sportys recommended but I didn't know if that was just the practice tests or paying for a course.
How do you get your ground knowledge and written exams completed before you start? Do they provide you with the material 6 weeks before your start date?
I was thinking the same thing and was glad someone already asked that very exact question. If someone knows the answer to this question please share
need this answer
What's your best recommendation for someone who's looking to get into the aviation career? (Besides attaining a PPL)
Are you wanting to work for an airline on the ground or fly for one? If you wanna fly you need a PPL
What is a PPL?
@@Lina-uk8ru private pilot license
Where can I get info on that pre study work so I can be ready for that written
I can make a video on it!
How many written exams are there? I know there is the FAA Airman Knowledge test you take after ground school.
7 written exams total for the minimum to get through ATP I believe
I’m a senior in high school and I want to join atp pilot school but I saw in the requirements that you have to have an associates degree or military experience. But it also says there are exceptions, what are they?
Have your private pilots license
@@TakingFlightWithEthan thanks
You dont need a ppL to start. If you dont have any bachelors degree and no military experience or a private pilot license they will ask you to take the "COMPASS pilot aptitude test". You can do this straight out of highschool i believe you can take it once every 6 months and its best to do some studying first. If you pass that and you get cleared on your FAA medical you should be good to go. Atp will link you the compass test. It costs 55 dollars im pretty sure and you can study and take it when you feel ready. If you pass you can apply. Its what im currently doing.
Maybe some people have that natural gift of being a pilot, but money situations or life itself separates them from their dreams, life is only one and if you want to fly you will achieve it even if it takes many years to achieve it. follow your instincts, I'm on it….
@@daniel_of_jersey4775 this is exactly what I’m doing right now as well! I have an associates degree, and at 25 years old I’ve managed several and owned my own business. Not sure if that plays into it at all. I took the Compass and passed. I have an admissions flight four days from now and I’m looking forward to it!
Where do I take all the test before? What are they so I can get them done before I start.
If you google FAA PSI testing, a link should come up and you make an account and it will show you the testing centers closest to your location. Sometimes, you have to drive an hour or two to get to one. The written exams you need to take are the PAR, IRA, FII, IGI, CAX, FIA, AGI, and FOI.
@@TakingFlightWithEthan thank you
@TakingFlightWithEthan which online course helps you with test prep question and classes for all these licenses ? Kings school perhaps ? Or sportys
So even if I don’t have a PPL, I can still take all written exams available?
Yep!!
@@TakingFlightWithEthan huh. That’s pretty cool, that would definitely make it a lot easier to get it out of the way and focus on flying.
@@AV-iu6bd Exactly, really wish I did it. I've done 4 written exams since I started, but each of them takes about 30 to 40 hours of studying.
What should you study in college and should you go to flight school after college?
Regional airlines actually don't require a college degree right now at all! That's why I'm going to flight school first. The major airlines prefer a degree, but they don't care what you get it in.
you should still get a college degree in anything as it will make you more competitive when applying for the regionals
@@Tyleraviator99 Yes that’s what I’m doing
@@TakingFlightWithEthan if I were to get a degree what major should I study?
@@TakingFlightWithEthan I don’t know if aerospace degree is a good match for pilots so I want your opinion
Is it possible to complete flight school while still working a full time 40 hour job? I can't afford to quit my job but really want to become an airline pilot
It’s possible! Not easy but possible. You won’t be able to go through ATP but you could do it with a local mom and pop flight school.
Intro music?
What are the vaccination requirements to become a commercial pilot? Any way someone could become exempt from getting any vaccination?
I dont think ill be able to handle the academic part of it especially how fast past it is
It's difficult for sure, but not impossible. If the load is too much for you, I'd recommend something a little slower paced
Why would you go to ATP if you already have you private pilot license?
you can’t make money with your private pilot license, you can only take passengers
ATP had a credit private option for way cheaper and faster so I opted to do that instead, and I would advise everyone to do the same
He sounds a lot like JFK wow
Yo do you recommend to go to atp over and aviation college
Personally yes! But with anything, it’s a personal decision
@@TakingFlightWithEthan alright I graduate this spring so I need to make a decision soon so torn on what to do
@@StrictlySports I mean, I went to ATP right out of high school and I'll finish in December and then start making 50 dollars an hour as an instructor as an 18 year old, so not bad. Plus, that gives me at least 4 years to finish my degree. I think I played my cards right, and hopefully I'll end up in less debt than a college graduate
@@StrictlySports My main reasoning for it was so that I could get an early start on paying off my debt and continue growing my business instead of devoting all my time to a college program and going into more debt
@@TakingFlightWithEthan so how long do you think it’ll take to build the 1500 hours and do you think you’ll be at the regionals at 21
I’m interested in being a pilot but I don’t understand the rush to get everything completed so fast. ATP is appealing but the “accelerated path” seems like their focus isn’t on training you but to get you all the certifications quickly. I can’t be the only one who thinks this right?
I wouldn't say quick, I would call it efficient. Building seniority at an airline is important, so their business model is getting you your certifications more efficiently than others to get you to the cockpit of an airliner faster.
Wait so you need a drivers license to earn a PPL?
No
Nope
Do they serve alcohol?
ATP? No
@@TakingFlightWithEthan then I’m not going
@@dasheight203 LOL!!!!!
Are you in the student housing?
I'm not, but have some friends who are and I'm planning on making a video on it soon
@@TakingFlightWithEthan that would be great thank you 👍🏾
welcome to the pilot mill, where they dont care about quality of traing, just getting you through and getting your money.
ATP here in Arizona, the admittance has gone down because ATP just isn’t the way to go. People are finding way cheaper places to train with instructors who are not wanting to rush to the airlines and it shows in the quality of the instructors. The chief pilot will not hire moonlighters and really digs deep to see if the applying instructor will stay. I have the best cfi and truly learning my instrument training, not learning to pass a test. ATP is known for rushing to the airlines, and that is a zero benefit to anyone. No one knows what they truly want to do in aviation. Always find a school with quality instructors that STAY!
ATP is an over priced pilot mill, just trying to basic standards, not a good return on investment.
@@topofthegreen exactly.
@@topofthegreen you seem like the “fun” guy at parties
Good stuff but stop swiveling
Does it really matter?
😂😂
Why does it matter
😂
Take it easy man, he is drunk 🍺🍺🍺don’t t you see it??
Seems super feminine
ATP is a scam lol
