Barbers Point Flight School has partnered with PlaneSym, an FAA-approved Part 142 Training Center that provides specialized aviation training, including the ATP-Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP), Type Ratings, and Recurrent or Requalification Courses.
This alliance allows BPFS to offer advanced training for Commercial Pilots who want to prepare for their ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) written exam. The six (6) day course is offered at our Hawai Flight School on Oahu.
