Every check ride carries inherent stress. Despite this, we strive to conduct a thorough, safe, and precise pilot examination while minimizing the stress for the individual being assessed.
There are no regulations stipulating that pilot examination must be torturous. Each check ride can be an enjoyable experience. If you’re well-prepared, skilled, mature, and exercise sound judgment, the check ride should be anything but torture.
I prefer to test at Fort Smith Municipal Airport (KFSM), Signature Air Support.
I have an office there for use during the ground portion.
We have white board and projectors to use for CFI evaluation
There is a travel fee assessed for travel. It is based on the price of the aircraft and the expense to travel to and from your site.
The site must have easy access to a computer, internet, and printer. Traveling to a nearby location or hanger will not be acceptable.
Typically, the travel fee is based on $250/hr. flight time plus half the fuel charge.
Any incidental or required lodging fees will also be included in the travel fee.
