Schedule Checkride

I have heard the complaints from flight schools — and I am doing my best to overcome them. That is why I have made it easy for you to see my schedule online and book your own appointment - even if you have a few more hours to go before you are ready. I am not holding back any appointments for my favorite flight schools (I don't have any). I do keep slots open in the event an applicant needs a reschedule due to a discontinuance or disapproval; you should always be able to get back in within a week if that happens. If for some extraordinary reason I have to cancel, I will get you rescheduled within a week — or your checkride will be completed at a 50% discount.

In order to make this work, I do have a few requests:
  • Applicants, please don't book unless your instructor agrees that he/she can have you prepared by the date you reserve.
  • If you need to cancel, do so at least three days in advance so that I can fill the slot.
  • If you need to cancel, do NOT offer your slot to another student you know. I will maintain a cancellation list, and fill openings from it.
  • Please read the prerequisites below, complete the checklist and send me the required information at least 7 days prior to your checkride. I will take the time to review it before we are together so our checkride experience can be as efficient as possible — and we can ensure that you meet all the qualifications and are ready to show all that you have learned.
All requests for checkrides at locations other than Naples need to be approved prior to booking. Two checkrides on the same day will be required. Because of the high demand for DPE services in Collier County, I will be available in other locations no more than one day per week.

Available appointments will be posted around the tenth day of the month for the following month. (Example: February appointments will be made available around January 10.) A slot which appears in gray and reads "Checkride (0)" indicates that slot is already taken.

Can't find an opening? Is your appointment further out than you would like? Click the Cancellation List below to join the cancellation waiting list.
