Sir,

My experience at ATP-Phoenix has been excellent. My assigned instructor,
Brian Marsh and another instructor David Tatone deserve special mention.
From the first day, Brian outlined the requirements and expectations for
my training partner and I. On several occasions we were unable to get
simulator time during the day and Brian did what was necessary for my
partner and I. We ended up training late at night and after 2400hrs in
many cases. Brian also stopped by my apartment some evenings to provide
extra instruction and help me correct my deficiencies. With the
instruction I received and the occasional "pushing" I needed, I was able
to complete my first two checkrides successfully and on schedule.

I should also mention David Tatone, who spent his own free time helping
me prepare for the IRA oral and practical exam. David probably spent six
or more hours of his time helping prepare me for my checkride. The night
before my checkride, Brian and David quizzed me for a few hours and
Brian stayed late to total MY logbook for the checkride, he also stayed
to complete all the necessary paperwork. That gesture allowed me to get
a few extra hours of sleep the night before a checkride.

The dedication shown by both these instructors deserves credit.

Furthermore, I'm astounded by the maintenance and mission ready rates of
the aircraft. Every aircraft is well maintained and ready to fly.

My only recommendation is that the training location be reorganized or
positioned to allow for more space to conduct ground training and flight
debriefing.

No ATP staff have reviewed or solicited these comments so if I have
inadvertently directed these comments to the wrong person or office,
please let me know and I will forward them to the appropriate place.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my comments.

Sincerely,

Samuel L. Carty
