- DME: Designated Mechanic Examiner: tests candidates for the mechanic certificate (airframe and powerplant).
Designees are listed with the name and contact details the FAA publishes for them on its designee locator (read October 10, 2026): the FAA lists them so that pilots, mechanics and companies can find them.
