To verify eligibility for both you and the aircraft, we will need:
  1. Part 141 School Graduation Certificate must be dated within 60 days.
  2. See Policy/Costs section for Fee. 
  3. Bring a lunch if we start at 8am or 9am. Snack and soda machines are available.
  4. Note:  I may have multiple checkrides. I will make every effort to meet my time committments to you but it is possible you may need to wait for me to finish a checkride which was scheduled earlier than yours. 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Please know and understand that  I am designated to perform this checkride on behalf of the FAA. An FAA inspector has every right to show up sometimes un-announced to monitor me administering your checkride. If this happens, relax, they are observing me not you. We will strive to make sure your checkride is not affected in any significant way. Consider this just a “checks and balance” to be sure you get the best quality product.

Please review these Instrument endorsements and logbook entries to save time in checkride qualification.
