Hire Designated Pilot Examiners
A designated pilot examiner (DPE) gives the practical test, the checkride, for a pilot certificate or rating.
Post the checkride you need, where and around when, and examiners who give that test can apply. Applicants and their instructors use AirplaneGigs to line up a date.
What You Can Hire Them For
- Private, commercial and ATP practical tests
- Instrument rating checkrides
- Flight instructor checkrides
- Multi-engine and other add-on ratings
Helicopters Too
Helicopter checkrides are posted the same way. Choose the helicopter rating you are testing for, and examiners who give it can apply.

Common Questions
- How do I find a checkride date?
- Post a checkride job with the test, your airport and the dates that work. Examiners who give that test can apply, and you can be told when an examiner posts an open date near you.
- Can my instructor confirm my endorsements?
- Yes. You can name the instructor who endorsed you, and they confirm it on AirplaneGigs so the examiner can see you are ready.
