What Aircraft can be used for a Checkride?

Authorized Aircraft

I do not conduct checkrides in small side-by-side aircraft (e.g., C-150).
For safety of flight and proper weight and balance, these aircraft are not suitable.

Tandem aircraft are acceptable with prior approval.
Please review my Authorized Aircraft section for full details.

How Does Scheduling a Checkride work?

Schedule Your Checkride!

I generally do not conduct checkrides from Saturday through Monday. I work two out of five weekends with my primary job, and my remaining weekends are reserved for time with my family.

Please do not send payment or a checkride worksheet until I have formally approved you and placed you on my schedule. Sending materials early will not move you ahead in line.
