Verified pilot · PPL · Passed · Jan 2018

Ridiculously thorough, more than I could have imagined, but fair. Checkride was quite long, but passed in the end.

Verified pilot · PPL · Passed · Jul 2019

My PPL checkride was 6 hours and $800. Asked questions so detailed and obscure, other DPE's and CFI's were unable to answer them. I passed, but it was not a great experience.
