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. Private individuals are not named, the site's policy at this time. A designee who would rather not appear here can ask us through the contact address on the About page. Each designee is placed at the main public airport of the town the FAA lists (or the nearest one to its zip code), so "nearby" means the town, not an exact address. All examiners by state.

The aircraft, with its own page
| Tail number | Aircraft | Built | NTSB records, last 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| N82759 | Aeronca 7AC |
The NTSB recorded no accident or incident involving these aircraft in the last 10 years.
Only the aircraft registered to Rock River Flyers today are counted, wherever they were flying and whoever was flying them, including any accident before the school owned them; aircraft a school leases from their owners are registered to those owners and are not. A school that flies more hours will show more; nobody publishes those hours, so this is a record, not a score. Compare with the other training organisations in Illinois.
