December 11, 2024 – As you may have heard, due to under-staffing within the FAA, the decreasing number of DPE’s, and the large increase of pilot applicants, scheduling a practical test can take several weeks if not months. Personally, I am currently so backlogged with both scheduled appointments and waiting lists that I have temporarily paused scheduling new applicants. I would encourage you to visit the DPE locator website at https://designee.faa.gov/designeeLocator to locate and contact an examiner that may be able to accommodate your time-frame. This message will be removed when I resume accepting new requests.
