The purpose of this website is to provide an open line of communication and feedback between the Pilot Examiner, Flight Instructor Community and the pilot Applicant. You'll find everything you need to know about check rides, endorsements, forms, what's new, etc.. on this site.

I conduct practical tests in the ALBANY FSDO ONLY.

Area Covered by ALBANY FSDO

I am available to give practical tests for Sport, Private, Commercial and Airline Transport Pilot certificates. Also Additional Ratings such as Instrument, Mult-Engine, MEI, CFII, CFI Renewal and CFI Reinstatement at the Schenectady County Airport. I will also travel to your local airport within a 50-mile radius from Schenectady in the FSDO District providing your facility offers a quiet, well-lighted space suited for the oral portion of the tests.

Examinations are limited to daytime, VFR conditions, so testing must be scheduled so that the Oral and Flight portions of the test can be completed within these requirements. However, if unexpected interruptions occur (weather, maintenance issues, etc.) these will be grounds for the issuance of a “Letter of Discontinuance”.

The FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS) is the outline of knowledge and skill required within a fair and thorough evaluation. Flight instructors are urged to contact me for more information.

This page was created to help pilots book a Practical test with me and to find out what they should know about each type of Practical test. It also serves as a good place for flight instructors to get current endorsements, detail on what is tested, how it's tested and to provide some useful links to things that a pilot preparing for a Practical test would find useful.
