We assemble the readiness packet
Six sections that mirror a DPE's desk for PPL ASEL: aeronautical experience (§ 61.109(a) audited line-by-line), endorsements (AC 61-65J), knowledge test, pilot credentials, application, and aircraft. The hours rules are auto-verified today; the rest stay visible so the applicant and CFI confirm them rather than missing them.
- → § 61.109(a) experience — auto-audited
- → Endorsements · knowledge test · paperwork
- → PPL ASEL today · more ratings to follow
Packet you can hand to a DPE
A readiness packet with line-by-line citations, page references back into your logbook, prep recommendations for every shortfall, and a one-page summary for the checkride desk.
- → Detailed multi-page report
- → DPE one-pager
- → Prep recommendations · next steps
This is what your
DPE will see.
The aeronautical-experience section of a redacted PPL ASEL packet — every § 61.109(a) requirement traced to the FAR, every hour cross-checked against the source page. Endorsements, knowledge test, credentials, application, and aircraft sit alongside it in the full packet.

Three people in
the same room.
Pre-flighting paperwork that should have been caught months ago is the part of a checkride that nobody on either side of the desk wants. A readiness packet done before the applicant sits down flips the conversation.
Every PPL student should run their book through a readiness check before stage check. Catching a missing night XC leg in week 12 of training is a different conversation than catching it three days out.
"Am I actually ready?" is the hardest question to answer about your own logbook. A line-by-line readiness packet against § 61.109(a) and the rest of the desk is the only honest way to find out before a DPE does.
