Tips for Scheduling Your Checkride
- Start looking for a DPE well before you're ready — popular examiners book 4-6 weeks out
- Have your IACRA application started before contacting a DPE
- Ask your CFI for DPE recommendations — they know who works well with students
- Confirm the DPE's fee and what it includes (oral + flight, retest policy)
- Check if the DPE requires a specific aircraft type or avionics suite
- Consider density altitude — summer checkrides at high-altitude airports need careful performance planning
