provides the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight
proficiency standards for airline transport pilot (ATP) certification in
the airplane category, single-engine land and sea, and multiengine land
and sea classes (ASEL, ASES, AMEL, AMES). This ACS incorporates and

knowledge and risk management elements to each subject area; the result
is a comprehensive presentation that integrates the requirements for

one overall FAA standard.
