Can I get an R-ATP through ZTA?
ZTA graduates need 1,500 hours to qualify for an ATP certificate.
The 1,000 and 1,250 hour R-ATP reductions are only available through specific FAA-approved degree programs that ZTA is not part of.
The 1,000 and 1,250 hour R-ATP reductions are tied to specific FAA-approved aviation degree programs, not to the flight training itself.
Thrust is a Part 141 flight school, not a degree-granting institution, so ZTA students need 1,500 hours. Most ZTA graduates build those hours as paid CFIs in 18 to 24 months.
If you want to combine ZTA with a degree, talk to an advisor about pathways that pair Thrust with affiliated college programs.
