Designated pilot examiners conduct most practical tests in the United States. Many run their practice alone, booking rides by text and phone, checking documents on the morning of the ride, and entering the same details into DMS and IACRA after every flight.
Applicants feel it too. Wait times stretch for weeks, fees and policies are hard to find, and a missing endorsement can cancel a ride that took months to schedule.
DPE Portal gives examiners one place to run their practice, and gives applicants and schools a clear, honest way to book. We want examiners spending more of their week on checkrides and fewer rides lost to paperwork.
