Question

Does anyone know what u need to be an airline pilot?

Answer 1

You need to have a pilot's license from the FAA with a commercial rating with multi-engine rating, instrument rating, medical certificate, 250 hours of flight, and when this is finished you get an ATP (Airline Transport Ceritficate).

Answer 2

First Officer

Commercial

Instrument Rating

Multi-Engine

about 500-1000 hours good shot

second class medical

FCC radio Operators licence

College Degree looks but in regional not required some do and some dont

Answer 3

I'm not sure if you are talking about the Airline Transport Pilot Rating minimums or requirments by an airline. If you are talking about the rating here are the ATP minimums:

        1.Be at least 23 years of age.

2.Be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English language.

Be of good moral character.

Meet at least one of the following:

Hold at least a commercial pilot certificate and an instrument rating.

Meet the military experience requirements (listed in FAR 61.73) to qualify for a commercial pilot certificate and an instrument rating.

Hold either a foreign ATP or a foreign commercial pilot license and an instrument rating, without limitations, issued by a member nation of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Hold at least a current FAA third-class medical certificate. Later, if your flying requires an ATP certificate, you must hold a first-class medical certificate.

Receive and log ground training from an authorized instructor, or complete a home-study course (such as studying Airline Transport Pilot FAA Knowledge Test and Aviation Weather and Weather Services) to learn (61.155)

Applicable Federal Aviation Regulations . . . that relate to airline transport pilot privileges, limitations, and flight operations.

Meteorology, including knowledge of and effects of fronts, frontal characteristics, cloud formations, icing, and upper-air data.

General systems of weather and NOTAM collection, dissemination, interpretation, and use.

Interpretation and use of weather charts, maps, forecasts, sequence reports, abbreviations, and symbols.

National Weather Service functions as they pertain to operations in the National Airspace System.

Windshear and microburst awareness, identification, and avoidance.

Principles of air navigation under instrument meteorological conditions in the National Airspace System.

Air traffic control procedures and pilot responsibilities as they relate to en route operations, terminal area and radar operations, and instrument departure and approach procedures.

Aircraft loading, weight and balance, use of charts, graphs, tables, formulas, and computations, and their effect on aircraft performance.

Aerodynamics relating to an aircraft's flight characteristics and performance in normal and abnormal flight regimes.

Human factors.

Aeronautical decision making and judgment.

Crew resource management to include crew communication and coordination.

Pass a pilot knowledge test with a score of 70% or better.

A knowledge test is not required for you to add another aircraft type rating to your ATP certificate if your ATP certificate lists the aircraft category and class rating that is appropriate to the type rating sought.

Accumulate flight experience (FAR 61.159).

Except as provided in b. and c. on the next page, you must log at least 1,500 hr. of total time as a pilot that includes at least

500 hr. of cross-country flight time

100 hr. of night flight time

A person who has performed at least 20 night takeoffs and landings to a full stop may substitute each additional night takeoff and landing to a full stop for 1 hr. of night flight time, limited to not more than 25 hr. of night flight time.

75 hr. of actual or simulated instrument flight time

The maximum time that may be accumulated in a flight simulator or flight training device, representing an airplane, is either

25 hr., if the training is not conducted under FAR Part 142, or

50 hr., if the training is conducted under FAR Part 142.

250 hr. of flight time as PIC of an airplane, or as SIC performing the duties and functions of a PIC under the supervision of a PIC, or by any combination of the two. This requirement must include

100 hr. of cross-country time

25 hr. of night flight time

NOTE: Not more than 100 hr. of the total aeronautical experience requirements may be obtained in a flight simulator or a flight training device that represents an airplane, provided the experience was obtained in a course conducted under FAR Part 142.

A commercial pilot may credit the following flight time toward the 1,500 hr. of total pilot time.

SIC time, provided the time is acquired in an airplane, under one of the following conditions:

Required to have more than one pilot flight crewmember by the airplane's flight manual, a type certificate, or the regulations under which the flight is being conducted

Engaged in operations under Part 121 or 135 for which a SIC is required

Required under the FARs to have more than one pilot flight crewmember

Flight-engineer time, provided the time

Is acquired in an airplane required to have a flight engineer by the airplane's flight manual or type certificate

Is acquired while in operations conducted under Part 121 for which a flight engineer is required

Is acquired while the person is participating in a pilot training program under Part 121

Does not exceed more than 1 hr. for each 3 hr. of flight-engineer flight time for a total credited time of not more than 500 hr.

You may be issued an ATP certificate with the endorsement "Holder does not meet the pilot in command aeronautical experience requirements of ICAO," if you

Credit SIC or flight-engineer time toward the 1,500 hr. total flight time requirement

Do not have at least 1,200 hr. of flight time as a pilot, including no more than 50% of your SIC time and none of your flight-engineer time

Otherwise meet the aeronautical experience requirements

NOTE: The endorsement described in item c. above will be removed when you present satisfactory evidence of the accumulation of 1,200 hr. flight time as a pilot including no more than 50% of your SIC time and none of your flight-engineer time.

Successfully complete the ATP practical flight test given as a final exam by an FAA inspector or designated pilot examiner and conducted as specified in the FAA's Airline Transport Pilot and Type Rating Practical Test Standards (FAA-S-8081-5B, dated July 1995).

The ATP practical test covers the following areas of operations:

Preflight preparation

Preflight procedures

Takeoff and departure phase

In-flight maneuvers

Instrument procedures

Landings and approaches to landings

Normal and abnormal procedures

Emergency procedures

Postflight procedures

We do not provide a flight maneuver book for the ATP since the test is make and model specific to the airplane being used.

            

        Here's an example of Alaska Airlines minimums:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Must hold Airline Transport Pilot (ATP)

• current First Class FAA Medical Certificate

• Vision must be correctable to 20/20 in both eyes

• Minimum 3000 hours total time in fixed wing aircraft

• Minimum 1000 PIC hours in multi-engine (turbojet/ turboprop)

- or -

• single-engine high performance military jet

- or -

• 750 hours PIC in multi-engine (turbojet/ turboprop)

• 2000 hours SIC in multi-engine (turbojet/ turboprop)

• Minimum 50 hours flown within the last 12 months

• Four year degree required from an accredited institution

• Non user of nicotine products

• Applicants must be able to prove legal right to work in the United States (A background check will be completed for each applicant)

These are only listed minimum requirements. The majority of applicants considered far exceed these minimums.

Answer 4

Virtually all airlines require a college degree first.
