About the content on this site
This page was created
to help pilots book checkrides with me and to find out what they should know
about each type of checkride. 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 checkride
would find useful.
With this information, I hope you'll find it easier to get the information you need to adequately prepare for the FAA practical test.
This site is NOT an FAA site. It represents me and my testing philosophy only.

Retest
fees are $250.00 for all tests.
The following Discontinuance policy applies:
The applicant will not have to pay additional fees for a rescheduled test unless one of the following conditions caused the missed test:
If the airplane is not airworthy the applicant is issued a notice of
disapproval and no fee credit applies
If the applicant is not eligible for the test at the time of application
no fee credit will be given.
If the applicant does not cancel the flight test within 24 hours no credit
is given for the next test and an invoice will be sent to the applicant
for the missed test.
So in short if the airplane is airworthy but needs maintenance, the weather is not good enough for the test or there is an emergency on either of our parts then no additional fees are required. For any other reason you pay for the missed test.
