All 10 nearby, by kind, with contact details

What each kind does
  • DPE: Designated Pilot Examiner: gives the practical tests (checkrides) for pilot certificates and ratings.
  • AME: Aviation Medical Examiner: a doctor who issues the medical certificates pilots must hold.
  • DME: Designated Mechanic Examiner: tests candidates for the mechanic certificate (airframe and powerplant).
  • DPRE: Designated Parachute Rigger Examiner: tests candidates for the parachute rigger certificate.
  • DADE: Designated Aircraft Dispatcher Examiner: tests candidates for the dispatcher certificate.
  • APD: Aircrew Program Designee: an airline's own check pilot who gives the FAA's tests to the airline's pilots.

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.

This entry comes from the company's name on the FAA aircraft register (October 9, 2026): the FAA publishes no list of flight schools, so a company whose name says what it does is listed here. Is this your company? Claim or correct this listing: the base, the website, what you do, your own pictures.
