ATR aircraft remain a core platform in regional aviation, operating short-haul networks across Europe, Asia, Africa, and other developing markets. Airlines recruiting ATR First Officers typically seek candidates with current multi-crew turboprop experience, strong procedural discipline, and recent flight time on type or similar aircraft.
ATR 42 and ATR 72 First Officer positions may require a valid type rating, though some operators consider experienced turboprop pilots transitioning from comparable aircraft. Minimum hour requirements vary depending on fleet, route structure, and operator standards.
Typical requirements for ATR First Officer roles include:
- Valid CPL or ATPL
- Current Class 1 medical
- Multi-crew turbine experience
- Recent flight time meeting currency standards
- Right to work or willingness to relocate
