Trouble scheduling your check ride?

By General Aviation News Staff · February 18, 2025 · Leave a Comment

One of the most frustrating aspects of flight training is when you are ready for your check ride, but you can’t find a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) who has time in their schedule.

That’s why the Flight School Association of North America (FSANA) has been collecting the names of DPEs who have expressed a willingness to travel to help flight training providers secure practical tests.

The latest List of Travel-Willing DPEs with contact information is available on the FSANA website.

“If you are a flight training provider who is finding a challenge of scheduling DPEs in your local area, feel free to reach out to these individuals,” FSANA officials said. “They may be able to serve some of your local testing needs.”

FSANA officials also want DPEs who are not on the list — but would like to be — to send their name, city, state, email, and phone number to [email protected] and they will add you to the list.

You can find the DPE list here.
