What Students and Pilots Say

I have been going to PDK since i was a 2 year old and have loved it ever since. To graduate from this same airport from ATP is a surreal feeling. The training center is well kept, and the instructors inside are even better. Every instructor at PDK training center is as professional as it gets. The airport itself is a great community full of people ready to help you pursue your piloting dreams. It even has 2 yummy res…

I am a local pilot, aircraft owner, and resident and find the ATP trainees doing a great job with communications and piloting around the area-well done! ATP, please consider encouraging trainees to follow the voluntary noise abatement procedures, which advise to do touch and go's at less populated airports (which also helps with the take-off congestion at PDK) and not do them at all at PDK after 11 pm. Twice in the…

The instructors, staff, and students at ATP's PDK location are all friendly and caring people who go out of their way to help you and encourage your success in the program. The planes are very well maintained and flight safety is always the top priority. I've had a great experience in the program so far and would highly recommend ATP & the PDK location to anyone interested in becoming an airline pilot.

This is a great ATP location and the instructors are top notch! The PDK class D airspace is the second busiest airspace in Georgia and makes for a great training environment that you may not get if you go elsewhere. ATP has all G500 equipped aircraft and has great maintenance. I'm glad that I chose ATP to help me achieve my aviation career goals.

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like ATP Flight School trades the academy's speed for flexibility and often meaningfully lower total cost. The pay-as-you-fly model keeps your money in your control, and training two to three lessons weekly around work is the proven rhythm, enough frequency to retain skills without the academy's all-in schedule. The variable to manage is momentum: local-school students who succeed book standing lesson slots, fly year-round, and treat ground study as homework rather than something that happens at the airport. Ask about aircraft scheduling depth, instructor availability on your target days, and examiner wait times in Chamblee, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Georgia Teaches You

Georgia students train in the shadow of the world's busiest airport, which shapes the state's airspace culture: professional radio work, flow awareness, and comfort around heavy traffic. South Georgia adds quiet practice areas and mild winters that keep training on schedule.

How to Evaluate ATP Flight School on Your Tour

Every school on this directory gets the same advice from us, because the fundamentals don't move. Walk the ramp and count how many aircraft are down for maintenance. Ask how many lessons a week they can actually schedule you, and how far out the booking calendar runs. Ask for first-attempt checkride pass rates and how long students wait for an examiner. And keep your money in your control: pay as you fly, or in small blocks with clear refund terms.

Then weigh the location itself. Training in Chamblee means building your early hours in Georgia weather and airspace, and both become part of your airmanship. Our school-selection guide covers the full vetting checklist, and the financing page maps scholarships and loans that apply at schools like this one.

Common Questions About Training at ATP Flight School

How long would my training take here?

Part-time students flying two to three lessons weekly typically earn a private certificate in six to twelve months and a commercial certificate in two to three years, with pace set by your calendar and the weather. Consistency decides everything: standing lesson slots beat sporadic bursts by months.

What will it cost, and can I get help paying?

Get ATP Flight School's current rates directly; published numbers age fast in this industry. Nationally, plan on $80,000 to $120,000 from zero time to commercial certificates before instructing pay starts offsetting costs. Our financing guide maps the loans, scholarships, and airline cadet programs that apply here, and several scholarship cycles go undersubscribed every single year.

How should I arrange a visit?

Call ahead and ask for a tour on a normal training day, not a quiet one. Use the directions button above to plan the drive to Chamblee, arrive early enough to watch ramp operations, and bring the vetting checklist from this page. A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
