Examiner emphasis
No public examiner notes on fileCheckride.io publishes examiner-emphasis notes only when they come from a publicly-published source we can cite. Until that source exists for this examiner, the directory above is the entire record. Contact the examiner directly for prep guidance, and your CFI for the parts of the checkride this directory cannot cover.
Source data refreshed 2026-05-04. Designee information is sourced from the FAA Designee Locator. Examiner notes, when shown, are sourced from publicly-available materials cited inline. Pricing and availability change frequently — confirm directly with the examiner before booking.
DPEs and applicants who notice an inaccuracy can write to hello@checkride.io — corrections are processed against the cited source.
