ATP stands for which of the following?

• A. Airline Transport Pilot
• B. Air Transport Pilot
• C. Airline Transport Professional
• D. Automatic Transport Pilot

Answer: (A)

ATP stands for Airline Transport Pilot. This is the highest level of pilot certification in the United States and the credential required to act as pilot in command of an aircraft operating in scheduled air transport. Achieving it means meeting substantial flight experience and training requirements, and passing both a written knowledge test and a practical flight test, along with medical and age prerequisites. The other proposed expansions don’t match the official FAA designation, so Airline Transport Pilot is the correct term.
