121 vs. 135 ATP written

[Vladimir Lenin]

time to take the test
have 4 days to do it
which one is easier

 

[Kawasumi_Kichou]

Don't think either one is "easier." Which area do you find easier to study, or are more used to, 121 or 135 ops?

I was working under 135 when I took my ATP written. I chose 121 because that's what I wanted to eventually do, and I like studying transport-catagory aircraft systems. Some folks would probably choose 135 simply because that's what they're used to or currently doing. Or perhaps they find King Air systems slightly less daunting.

In the end I don't think it matters much. Your ticket won't indicate which written you took anyway.

WTF are you talking about? The only difference between the 135 and 121 tests are the regs questions you get. There are no King Air systems on it. For that matter, there aren't ANY aircraft-specific systems questions on it, just performance/W&B charts and stuff like that for the BE-1900, DC-9, 727, and 737. Taking the 135 version doesn't exempt you from doing those.

I just took the 135 written. It had quite a few of the DC-9 and 727 questions on it anyway.
