My experience with ATP-CTP airline training at Delta Air Lines.

- To be an airline transport pilot, one of the requirements that must be met is completing an ATP CTP course. The course was created as a result of the 2009, Colgan Air Flight 3407 that crashed in New York, killing 49 on board, and one on the ground. The ATP-CTP class intends to bridge the knowledge and experience gap between a commercial pilot certificate and a pilot operating in a 121 or 135 air carrier environment.
I spent 7 days at Delta Air Lines, in Atlanta, Georgia. Delta Professional Services(DPS) provides ATP-CTP training. 30 hours of ground school, 10 hours of simulator time. Great speakers, Delta Flight Museum access, and other perks were provided as well. It was a great course!
I am not employed by or affiliated with Delta or DPS.

This is the first time I’ve seen a recap of any ATP/CTP course with this much detail. I really appreciate it since I’ll be attending one soon.
Yes! excellent overview of the course and experience.
Clear and concise - covered ALL the requirements. I retired as a B767 Captain 24 years ago. There was no requirement for this course prior to taking the ATP written then. Everything you covered I learned AFTER I got my ATP. I think this prerequisite requirement is great.
Great job, NB! This was a super informative video, and a really nice recap of your experience. It is no surprise that Delta held a first class ATP-CTP course.
Great video Nathan! Glad you enjoyed the program. Recently retired Delta captain here. The training department is top notch!
Great summary Nathan! The very best to you on this journey.
Bravo Nathan! What great insight to the ATP-CTP course. I am ready to sign up tomorrow! So cool!
What an experience! Thanks for sharing….can’t wait to hear about what’s next for you!
Thanks bro. That was awesome. Very educational and informative. Highly educational
Very informative! Thanks for sharing your experience. Subscribed!
Great job on the video! Super interesting to me to hear what was involved.
This is great man as always - you could do an explainer series on anything and I would watch and inevitably learn something.
I went there in February. Great class!
Nice summary - that would be a fun class to attend!

Thanks for watching Martin!
Excellent vidéo. Thanks.
Amazing video! Super informative
I was very glad to get mine there earlier this year. Very convenient and you get some inside info. I’m at 7GA7 if you are ever out and about.
What a great video, than you so much.
Not sure how your channel came up but great job in describing your experience at Delta. Was unclear why you were going through this course or that even Delta offered it but good narrative. I subscribed....retired airline.
Thanks so much for watching, and you will probably appreciate this... The instructors in the class were all retired pilots, and the stories they told were invaluable. I am sure you have many to tell as well! Thanks for subscribing as well.
Great video
wow, very humbly.
Great video. Can you add what the daily schedule was for you during this course? When did the day start and end? How much time did you spend studying after each day was over?
I had no idea that the autopilot would handle rapid decompression. Pretty cool.
The automation is so crazy amazing, I had no idea is was THAT good! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I’ve been wondering what all goes into ATP.
NB didya see any Aurora n lites ? anybody ?
would be great go up at nite try get chance see them over past wkend..
unfirtunately never saw any..suckks
How’d you manage to land in that class? I thought Delta’s CTP course was only for their military hires without an ATP?
It is open to everyone, as far as I know. I didn’t see or encounter any restrictions. I just went on the website and registered.
@@NathanBallardSaferFlying good to know!
great debrief! I wanna be NateB when I grow up.
16:00 what's the windshear escape maneuver?
Thx! ....Smashing the power to the stops, and basically doing what the FD says.. so not stalling, maintaining sufficient airspeed, and then get away from the ground as soon as practicable.
How many hrs TT u have ?
whats yur bio backgrd ? where r u ? ap ?
do u have vid on You ?
How did you prepare for the course?
I tried doing some research on YT, but there wasn't a lot out there. The folks at Delta/DPS were great in just making sure you know what to expect. As far as other prep, being instrument proficient will help during the sim sessions.
So... are you thinking of going to the airlines? Or did you take this for your own knowledge and to help prepare your students?
Yes, exploring options to do some professional flying 🛩️
@@NathanBallardSaferFlying Awesome!
How did you skip the regionals and get the ATP with Delta?
He said in the description that he doesn’t work for Delta…
Anyone with $5k is eligible 😊
Delta has a ATP-CTP course for non employees????!!!
GA q... why does ATC insist making ga ac do 360° circles in pattern trying to land bc of busy traffic w mixed in corp jets .. ofcourse favoring the richazzzjets get all priority to land first.
this is Class D ..
Does FAA ATC towers do this everywhere now ? or just my area Boston?
ithink ctrlrs just be bad and lazy cant separate traffic very good plain lazy and incompetent.
Doing 360° turns circles at 1000'agl is very risky dangerous bad bad.. too much going on.. lot of student pilots or ga practicing touchandgos going on.
Most stupid unsafe thing ATC could do doing this now alot
I hear it 5-10x perday.. some same ac they tell do it 2x in row b4 can land.
outofcobtrol .Accident deadly fatal A waiting to happen
ATC could easily say extend dw or do S turns or tell jets slow up.. or tell ga ac stay outside classD area will call you and ga can circle at safe 2000'+ away in unbusy sky.. not inside the pattern. ! omg smfh
You ever see run onto this any airports ?
Great video
